Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

This is an early update due to Super Bowl tomorrow (it's about the only NFL
game we watch as a family. Snacks are a big factor).

a) This coming week is the last time for a while that I will work on
assembled modules, instead switching over to the last of the kits.
Now that I have MOTM-380 Quad LFO pc boards/panels in stock, I can finish up
all the kit backlog ∗except∗ a few MOTM-700s.
I need to get that panel (the very last remaining to switch over to the new
paint/current machine shop) sent out and on order.

b) The last 10 days I got flooded with 2.0 orders (like 22 of them!) and
about 1/2 of these will ship Monday. I worked on these
all day today. I did work on 3 assembled MOTM-480s as a diversion :)

c) Due to 'real work' travel I told the SMT assembly house to delay 1 week
for delivery of the MOTM-730 boards. It is looking
like the 5th is when they ship to me. I am excited about shipping out
something new, which I have not done in 2 years.

d) I have adjusted the shopping cart to lower shipping costs about 10%
across the board. Note that the postal service ∗increased∗
rates like 3% a few weeks ago but I adjusted some weights so the overall
effect should be a reduction ∗mainly∗ in overseas costs.

If my travel schedule stays 'light' this month (weather is a big factor, as
most of my accounts are in the Great Lakes area) I expect
to ship over 75 modules and reduce the backlog over 50% by March 1st. I also
will reserve time to get the Euro/Frac SuperSaw
VCO to prototype phase. I need to select that new logo sometime and get the
artwork ready.
