Subject: Update

Survived getting the income tax prepared (I'm now a TurboTax convert). I
still will be tied up until the first week of May
with 'day job' stuff, so MOTM work will be limited in this time. Spent today
(when not screwing with the yard) working
on getting a few more '650s shipped (tracking down solder bridges, etc).
Tomorrow and Monday I will work
on getting the MOTM 2.0 stuff out, I want that backlog to be ∗zero∗ by
Friday so next week I can turn attention
to the remaining kits.

I plan to make another 60 '650s, after these are gone I will have to make a
different jack & MIDI pc board unless I can
source the 1/4" right angle jacks (the original importer went belly-up, but
I have ~700 left).

I did receive 30pcs of the new paint panels (for MOTM-300s). The 2 main
differences are the glossiness (older paint more glossy)
and 'grain' of the texture (new paint has finer, more uniform overall
grain). From a 1.5m distance, side-by-side they look the same to me :)
Again,
nothing I can really do at this point except slog on through yet another
sheet metal shop saga (I have enough stories to fill a book).

I am low on MOTM-19As but expect 30pr to arrive by Friday.

Analog Haven will be stocked up with MOTM Frac modules by mid-June.
