Been very busy last 2 weeks, MOTM and otherwise.

1) The MOTM-850 pc boards are due in tomorrow. If everything checks out, the
kitting starts Monday and
shipments 1 weeks from today.

2) MOTM-310 uVCO pcb layout finished today. Sent off to prototype shop (2
boards with 1 week delivery). If
they check out OK, shipment around Nov 7th. I will 'officially' announce and
you can place orders (not emails
saying "Send me some!") in about 2 weeks.

3) Hit a milestone today: for the year, have shipped and received orders for
over 1000 modules! Last year 818
were shipped. Could hit 1200 modules by year's end if I have the time. I'll
have to worry about NAMM starting
in mid-Nov. Although this time I'm a vet and know what to expect :)

4) Old Crow is tinkering on the CS-80 filter prototype. That is still on
track to ship this year. Although I need to
get the MOTM-130 Dual VCA finished (I'm stalling if you haven't guessed).
The layout will be the toughest
yet (at least I only have to do it once, errr..hopefully). I did get the
CA3280E chips for the filter today (they are
tough to find and $$$. The 3280AE version is over $5ea!).

5) New tech Kris is churning through the assembled orders. Next week, the
plan is he kits and I solder the
boards to the panels. So hopefully there will be a spike in assembled
shipments starting towards the end of
next week. The kit order backlog is approaching zero (yes Tom F. I'm
shipping yours). Kit supply levels holding
good, but will need time in Nov. to restock (I miss Angie! Boy could she kit
up those resistors).

6) Stooge Larry and I have ordered special brackets for the Triple Preamp
(and other modules with 3 knobs and 6
jacks). I really want to show this at NAMM (lots of geetar players) so stay
tuned.

That's about it for now.
