HAPPY

Shipping all (and I do mean, ALL) kits orders today EXCEPT '300 & '800s (out
of stock). These will ship
around Aug 30th. In Calif. all of next week. Will have ∗limited∗ email
access (expect 12 hour delays).

SAD

Running out of 100K pots. Next shipment not due until Oct 5th! (these are
parts I ordered in early July!)
So, as it stands today, only about half of on-order '820s will ship next
month. Unless the Spectrol fairy
lands in Ft. Worth. Subscribers get theirs ∗first∗. Just guessing, probably
only subscribers will get '820s
and some may even be up the proverbial creek.

Prices continue to inch up and up. Lead times go out more and more. The
machine shop I use is in "re-organization to focus on core business" Last
time I heard that, I was laid off the following week.

Not to dispair! I am "loading up the pipeline" with orders to take us
through the tradidtional Dec. busy time.
Even solder prices went up! Sheesh! MOTM is definitely a "business".

Reminder: PRICES GO UP SEPT. 1st!!
