Thanks for the update, Paul! No rush! ;-)
And just a thought, I know I would be interested, and possibly others too,
in kits that have some parts missing at an appropriate additional discount.
That way you wouldn't have to worry about restoring "robbed" kits which
would save you some time and hassle. And having 'most' of a kit still gets
us SDIYers most of the way there!

I have not been able to get to the kits yet. I had to 'rob' them for power
cables and long coax wires. I am having a bit of an issue getting the new
wire vendor to respond to my requests for new orders for the wire. It's very
annoying :(
I also had to order more front panels to cover all the kits on order.
So, ~ 3 more weeks I'm afraid. I'll spend some time next week putting the
kits back together I stole parts from. And I want to get the E340 pc boards
designed and sent for prototypes by July 27th. I hope to have renderings of
the final front panel by then as well. I designed the production front panel
in AutoCAD yesterday, Servo is eye-balling it for me. So, things are moving
along a bit for that. I am waiting for a quote for the pots (vertical
mounted) so I can order.
In today's "down economy", why can't I get vendors to send me a quote so I
can buy stuff? Seems very bizarre to me. Strangely, good old Allied
Electronics is the best so far in fast response, quick shipping and best
pricing (beating Mouser like a rented mule).
