Slight change of plans/update

2004-09-17 by Paul Schreiber

Looking at the current kit backlog versus this pile of $11,000 worth of bills to 
pay, I have decided to alter my plans slightly in terms of shipping schedule and 
the CD ROM manual.

I still plan to do the CD ROM manual set, as this saves me LOTS of money in both 
material and shipping (weight). But I need to get stuff out the door NOW. I 
can't sit here and spend the 40 hours to get the CD ROM ready until I pay off 
these bills.

So, what I'm going to do is start shipping '510s on Monday with a paper manual 
that is 95% the same as the CD ROM version. The difference is that I'm leaving 
out the exhaustive Theory section, and the audio examples will be up on the 
website. The construction section will be 100% intact.

I'm not shipping ALL of the '510s this way, only the first 35 (half of them). 
Also, looking at the backlog, here are the kits that will be built up and given 
priority in shipping:

101
120
190
300
310
440

What 'priority' means is that if/when I run out of another model # kit, I will 
not stop to re-kit. I'll just keep going until I can pay these bills off. Which 
should only be 3 weeks. So it's not a major turn of events :) The kits not 
listed will STILL BE SHIPPED against the CURRENT STOCK ON HAND.
