[sdiy] The end of MOTM synth kits

[Paul Schreiber]

Tomorrow at 9PM Texas time, I am loading into the shopping cart:

www.synthtech.com/catalog

the last and final set of MOTM analog modular synth kits. I'm both relieved and 
sad. About 7500 kits have been built by members of this list, in 17 different 
countries. However, the sheer logistics of keeping up with 50,000 parts/month 
means I am converting to assembled modules only. And letting other folks worry 
about it.

The last *order* date will be Dec. 1st, assuming there are kits left to order :) 
It will take until the end of the year to ship all of them (there are ~375 on 
back order as of today). Yes, the shopping cart says 'In Stock' but that doesn't 
equate to 'will ship by Friday'.

I have "turned off" the kit portion of the cart until I've completed the update.

Thanks to everyone for the many years of excitement. MOTM is far from dead: in 
fact, just the opposite. By no longer spending 90% of my time shuffling parts 
around, I can concentrate on *design* and *delivery*.
