FYI - If you consider purchasing a MOTM-formatted Zeroscillator, think
twice before you pay for it in full, even though Cyndustries lists
them as "shipping".

They were "In stock" about a year ago when I ordered one, and I'm
still waiting. I'll spare you the details, but I've communicated with
Cynthia multiple times and received a variety of reasons why it hasn't
shipped.

Items shouldn't be promoted as shipping or be offered as prizes when
existing orders for the same items are not filled.

Paul has done a great job at delivering orders quickly and
communicating when there will be delays, as has Roger at
Synthesizers.com, Tony at Oakley, Scott at Tellun, John at Blacet, the
Stooges and others.

Based on my experience with Cyndustries, I wouldn't use their Full
Payment option without contacting them before ordering and getting a
written commitment on the delivery date.
