I forgot. If you are interested in eventually purchasing an OMS-820 kit
from me, do not purchase an FP or PCB individually. I purchase these
directly from Dave, Larry and Tony for full price, so they are not loosing
any money for my bulk purchase, and it is much easier for them in terms of
handling money and shipping. If you are worried that the kit won't come out
in a timely manner and don't want to miss out, don't worry, Tony is making a
lot more PCBs this time.
I will not be selling any kits without PCBs or FPs. I also will not be
selling any part of the kit separately.
I forgot to mention that the kit will include standard MOTM pots, knobs,
switches, LEDs, Dave's pushbutton (since Paul still hasn't speced on), and
the Stooge L-bracket.
If you want to deal with the hassle and expense of obtaining all of the
parts yourself, feel free to purchase your PCB and FP directly. As Larry
does, I just want to provide a valuable and helpful service to the MOTM
community. I am actually doing the OMS-410 kit a pretty good loss (But
that's OK! It was my fault this occurred.).
Cheers!
