      For all of you who've been waiting for so long, these should finally be

available around the beginning of February. The first prototypes turned out

to be too thin, resulting in higher capacitance to the panel, which caused

some switches to spuriously activate the next switch on the same data line

in the scan sequence. However, I just got one more prototype that has a

thicker base, and it works fine, so I'll be placing a quantity order on

Monday. I'm told that the run will take three to four weeks. They look

beautiful, by the way.



When they're ready, I'll be selling them here first, for $180 a set plus

shipping. Eventually, I'll list them on eBay for a little more. I

photographed the process of installing them, and Chris Ryan has graciously

offered to let me post the illustrated instructions on the

www.rhodeschroma.com web site.



Hold off on e-mailing me your orders until I'm set up to receive them via

Paypal. I'll post an announcement when they're available.
