a) I will have 4 of the 5 boards in the MOTM-730 VC Divider in later this
week for testing. These are "prototypes but ready for production', meaning
unless I screwed up I can use the design for production. The last board is
the CPU board, it is a 4-layer board (hopefully not 6) and I will get these
at the end of the month. The mechanical design of how all 5 boards stack
up/interconnect was quite a pain. By the end of May the board set & front
panel will be released for production, and around the 4th of July will be
ready to ship. The cost will be $349.

b) due to extensive non-MOTM work requirements starting tomorrow, very
little will be shipped this month. I will be able to ship what I can April
22-26, I will try to catch up as much as possible. The month of May looks to
be ∗much∗ better in this regard, and also May is set aside for the CG/CGX
pcb layouts. The breadboarding has gone well for both of these, we are
convinced there is no major issues so it's time to flip the switch.

c) I will get MOTM-300 panels with the new paint April 21st.

d) as time allows (again, not a whole lot in April) I will start kitting up
the last 62 MOTM kits, starting with the 4xx VCFs. I need to pound on Newark
for the rest of the log pots (they owe me 200) but I do have 300 of the 248J
(metal shafts, plastic bushings).

e) also due in this Wednesday are the revised MOTM-910 mult pc boards (I
messed up the jack holes the first time, they worked but not 'perfectly')
and I expect them to be good enough for production. I have 5 coming in, I
will build up the 5 and ship them out ASAP as there are back orders for 9 I
last checked.
