Hi all.....

After having been tested for a few months by myself a few others, the new FSRs deliver a much smoother and consistent 0-127 velocity response, responding to the slightest of touch, and much more consistent zone and force response. This is all likely due to the new resistor design & better materials than what was available in 1987. The new FSRs were tested on 4 different SDXs and at various SENS and CURVE settings. Again, these are a COMPLETE and fully assembled FSR, not just the foil OR resistor.... it's BOTH in a nicely sealed unit with a peel and stick backing that holds the FSR in place, flat, and without tape or glue. There's pics of them in the Photos folder above.

Just in time as Christmas gifts (to yourself lol)..... I am taking orders for production units. Brand new FSRs made in 2014 and free of any oxide buildup or dry-up. MMMM.....

The factory has given me a lead time of 4 to 5 weeks delivery from time of order, and the price per unit breakdown is as follows (in CDN dollars):

Qty   Cost per unit

25     187.00

50     114.00

100     73.00

250     44.00  

 

As you can see, an order of at at least 100 or even 250 will yield the best cost per unit...


Please post here the total required so we all have an idea what the final order qty might be, and then I can proceed.


Cheers

Alan
