MOTM

I am now officially appear on the "most-hated" list at the post office.
Today, 21 boxes of Stooge panels, caps and other such accessories were
shipped to MOTMers.  All USA should arrive before Christmas.  Overseas, well
who knows.  A package recently shipped to the UK got there in 3 days.  Seems
like 10 is more normal.  I don't try to understand the post office.  If I
shipped to you today you will get a note later tonight or tomorrow morning
with your postal delivery confirmation number.

Here is the status of Stooge panels and such:

About 1/2 of the panels were shipped to me from the printer.  1/2 went to
Dave.  I got my 1/2 first.  All of those I got will be shipped before the
end of this month.  Most were actually shipped today.  And, just about
everything that does not require drilling will ship tomorrow.

Dave's half has been shipped to him from the printer, but have not yet
arrived.  Maybe today or tomorrow.  Dave has almost all of the panels that
are to be drilled.  I had plenty of other drilling to do (can you say 300
end caps) so Dave is doing most of the panel drilling.  So, his panels will
not be delivered as quickly as my half.  Dave also has most of the non-drill
items for guys that did not order anything in addition to panels.

There are around a dozen extra panels.  MANY of you have already asked about
buying the extras.  I have saved ALL of your notes.  Once all of the panels
are shipped and any rejects are covered, I will contact you if I have an
extra for you.  That will be in early January.  I will offer the panels in
the e-mail date/time order of request received.  I will happily put all
others on a list to contact you for Stooge panel run round 4 in the spring.

All non-screened products are well stocked up.  Flat rails, end caps, all 4
sizes of brackets, 822 PCBs, matched resistors, full rotation rotary
switches are all in stock and I plan to keep it that way so you can get
immediate delivery on those anytime.

The only thing on back order right now is the 831 matched resistors.  I
think 3 of you are waiting for those.  I have not forgotten about you.

As a side note, today, Stooge Panels, Inc. delivered the first every panel
in the Synthesizer.Com format.  It was a Blacet Time Machine.  Perhaps John
should be paying Dave and me a commission.  <snicker>
