The bit circled in red on the back looks simply like a high voltage warning in a couple of languages.

If you look at the inside of the case photo, there aren't any holes in the case up that end at the back, so it can only be a label of some sort.

Maybe just air vents? Though a fan may indeed be involved.

Air vents are mainly along the rear of the top section. Definitely a small (laptop sized) fan. Small slots arranged in a round shape, with 4 screw holes. Definitely a small fan.

But this is still a prototype, so things may change.

It won't be a proper OBX clone unless it has an absurdly large heatsink on the back panel...

Next you'll be saying I won't need to hit 'Tune' every so often to avoid comedy sounds instead of leads ....

Let me declare that I've been given an invitation to visit Midas next month. I won't give away secrets they don't want me to, but anything I can say with a clear conscience I will let you know...

You'll probably need to take 'a freind' to protect you from the 'information gatherers'

Since I have a white belt in origami - I suggest you invite me along as a bodyguard :)
