Subject: Update

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...>
Date: 2005-02-27

a) Paul H. is on a 1 week MOTM 'vacation' to attend to other (real) business. If
you have not received a happy email about kits, then you will not see one until
March 7th. The two of us really pushed hard this past week, about 60 kits were
shipped in 5 days.

b) the kit backlog (up to but NOT including the '485) is virtually ZERO, with
the exception of VCOs. I am about 2/3rd finished with the 310s, then I will
start on the '300s. These will start shipping on March 10th.

c) I compiled the assembled backlog yesterday. It is not at the all-time high
but it's up there :) I do have enough soldered pcbs to cover about 1/3 of it
already. The remaining 2/3rds I will have to get with the program. I can't
solder until 100% done or I will never get the '650 out the door until summer.

So, I'm going to do 1/2 of the backlog, stop and get the '650 to the CM, then
start soldering again. From a pure module count, the majority of the backlog is
4 modules (with the '800 leading the pack).

d) Old Crow fixed the 1 line of code in the VC Divider, added a /12 output and
that module is out of R&D and waiting for me. This will be a 'semi-kit' with
some stuff pre-soldered on the jack boards (the main board is a 'normal' kit).

e) Paul H. is still stocked on ∗all∗ non-VCO kits and SynthTech is maintaining a
2 week (or less) kit delivery. When the 600 log pots arrive in 10 days, he will
be up to over 200 kits sitting on the shelf, all packed and ready to go.

My wife is recovering from her surgery, I'll be minimal contact mode until Wed.
to care of non-MOTM issues. How's those '480s sounding? Demos, people....demos!
