Archive of the former Yahoo!Groups mailing list: MOTM

a) I have shipped 95% of all the kits in the backlog. I am out of MOTM-950
panels, have ordered more but it will be 4 weeks until they arrive. I will
ship all of the remaining kits ∗except∗ the '480s (and people overseas that
have a '480 + 1 or 2 others) this week. I still need the test the CA3280s,
that will take several days and decided to ship all that I can first.

b) I expect to get MOTM-19A rails next week.

c) I have started back on the assembled backlog now that I have the wire. If
things go as planned (cough), I will start my new 'real day job' on Sept 1st
(I should know by Friday AM) so I will have time to make quite a dent in the
assembled backlog all this month. This includes the RR E350s as well.

The backlog continues to drop overall, it's probably 20% of it's peak from 2
years ago. It would not surprise me that by Sept. 1st it's down to 5%.
Please everyone hang in there a bit longer so I can get back to R&D on new
stuff and have the funds to cover this last set of parts buys (about $6,000
worth the last 3 weeks).

d) for folks with "deposits only" for the RR E350s: expect an email the
week of the 23rd to "pony up" the balance :)
