[sdiy] Interest in Synthacon VCF PCB?

[Michael Ruberto]

I have enough people to make the 24 piece order now. In case you are just 
tuning in, the PCBs will be $13.50 each for this quantity.

I am working through your emails to respond to each one but it may take me a 
few days to get to you all.
I am setting the cutoff on orders for Sunday Aug 5th or 50 boards whichever 
comes first. This way, after the 5th I can concentrate on collecting 
shipping info and payment for ten days before sending the order to 
ExpressPCB.

Thanks everybody!

Mike
