1) Out of VCO kits. After the '830 kits (first batch of 30) are done
(Thursday), we will kit up 24 VCOs. This
will take us until June 17th (over 3300 parts to mess with). So, those of
you with VCOs on order sit
tight and finish your chores around the house.

2) The '830 kit is the first to have ever-so-slightly larger panel holes for
the blue Bourns pots. This should
eliminate the need to scrape paint out of the holes when the fit is too
tight. As I run out of existing stock, I will
order new panels with the larger holes (this includes the '800).

3) Shane will graduate and take a tech position at Bell Helicopter. His last
day is the 18th. He is working on
'420s and '410 assembled modules. I can probably squeeze a couple of '800s
out before he gets a 'real' job.
If you ordered an assembled module since Thanksgiving, he has done all of
the pcb soldering (I still do
the panel wiring). Jeremy will stay on until mid-July, kitting up with Angie
helping some. It still looks like
the kit backlog will fall to zero (a point it has not been since March of
last year!) around June 24th. I will
be happy and sad. Don't worry, there are plenty of assembled orders left, as
well as R&D time for all these
supposedly new modules shipping.

4) Several have asked about the MOTM-310 uVCO. It will probably come down to
a vote between it
and the Envelope Follower (NOT NOW!) in terms of which comes out first.
Just something to ponder.
