MOTM-730 VC divider "promise" ring

2005-04-16 by Paul Schreiber

(in the US, a "promise ring" is what girls wear when they are 'engaged to be 
engaged to be married')

I have all the parts quotes in for the VC Divider, and the prices will be:

$289 kit
$389 assembled (with a 4 week delivery!)

The kit has 2 pcb boards you solder, that stack on top of each other. The jacks 
are on pre-soldered pc boards that connect via ribbon cable (like used on IDE 
hard drives). The soldering is tight (like say a 320) and the wiring is not bad, 
so I'll rate this as a 4 out of 5 (closer to 3.5).

The panels are VERY expensive (over $20) so before I spends $1000s on them, I 
need some sort of a 'head count' on what the orders will be. Please send me a 
PRIVATE email to synth1@... or to syntht@... (if you are blocked 
for some reason, I've had issues with some ISPs in Europe) with **I'LL TAKE x** 
where x is the # of modules (kits OR assembled) in the subject, the body is your 
REAL FULL NAME please (I have 645 people I can't remember everyone, OK).

These are NOT ORDERS!! If you think so, then you will be disappointed :)

The actual order date is looking like the end of June/first of July. <2 week 
speedy delivery when announced for kits, and <4 weeks for assembled (not a 
typo).

I need to have 33 orders to *break even*, but only 'promise' if you really 
really mean to :) And by that, if you intend to order by say Aug 1st.
