Subject: [PLAN_B_analog_blog] New Model 15s: new jacks for the 'wireless' design
All,
Effective today we are beginning shipments of the newly
re-designed
Model 15 Complex VCO which incorporates two major changes:
The
elimination of Cliff Jacks and 12 point to point interconnect wires.

The
circuit, the module functionality and the price remains unchanged.
These
improvements were put in play to increase our production
throughput, decrease
the potential for field failures with the
elimination of the 12 hand-soldered
wires and addresses the continual
Cliff jack availability issue which has
shut our production line down
in the past, most notably last summer at the
worst possible time
imaginable: two weeks before the ELFs were to be released
when Cliff
announced they were halting worldwide production for three months.
Freed from those constraints I am confident the M15 availability
will
flourish.
