I will have 87 MOTM kits out the door by Friday. These will be:

MOTM-120
MOTM-410
MOTM-420
MOTM-440
MOTM-485
MOTM-800
MOTM-820
MOTM-830
MOTM-900

I know everyone is getting all antsy. I have spent most of August getting in
the front panels
(over $8,000 worth), the log pots took 16 months to arrive from France and I
was travelling
extensively June/July (was home probably 14 days out of 60).

However, I am not travelling for at least 2 more weeks, and spent all day
yesterday
and all day today (and also most of tomorrow) stuffing over 20,000 parts
into
little plastic bags (while everyone else was having fun or fleeing a
hurricane).

So, wonder why I'm getting rid of these blasted kits? This is why.
Meanwhile, the SMT
stuff can be built in a ∗day∗ once mounted on the line.

If everyone will just ∗please calm down∗ I will have the kit backlog out
shortly. The
last 2 kits will be the '700 and the '890, because I have to retool the
panels from scratch.
My sheet metal supplier is not exactly swift, either. I have 50pr of rails
on order now
for 7 weeks. I expect these 2, and these 2 only, to be early October based
on having
the front panels in around Sept. 29.

The kits not on the list will ship towards the end of the month. I have to
ship 35 Frac
modules to Analog Haven, get the '730 CPU card to the SMT line, and ship 12
MOTM-650s once they come off SMT (probably back to me on the 15th).

All of the above kits listed will be out the door by Friday. Warm up the
soldering irons.
