MOTM

Hi Everybody,

First of all, thanks to everyone who has purchased from our new e-
store at www.stoogeindustries.com.  The response to our new site has 
been great.  We will be adding items to the store on a regular 
basis, so check back often.

Anyway, here's an update on your favorite stooge items:

Flat Rails - You have run us out of stock, but more are on the way.  
These will be the first ones we have made in house.  We have built a 
jig for doing the cutting and drilling.  We have a powder coater 
lined up, and we just received enough steel to make close to 1000.  
So they will be back in stock soon.  We will also start stocking the 
wood screws to mount these to your cabinets as well as the machine 
screws.

Brackets - We are out of stock of the flat plate bracket.  We still 
have everything else in stock.  Once we get the turret press set up 
later this month we will run brackets first.  We will also be adding 
a couple of new bracket styles.

Cables - We have received about 300 cables so far out of our order 
of 2000.  I will start adding these to the e-store this coming 
week.  We will have a very large variety of colors and lengths in 
stock.  We will also be set up soon to take orders for custom cables 
through the e-store.

Panels & End Caps - Coming Soon!  -  We have managed to move all the 
tooling from Chicago: - Over 25,000 lbs!  The press itself will be 
moved on the 15th.  We are having tests done this week with laser 
engravers to determine the feasability of replacing the silkscreen 
process while retaining the exact look of the MOTM standard panels. 
We hope to be ready to start panels by the end of the month.

Modules - Once we have the panels up and running, we will be 
announcing the first of the Stooge Modules under our Synth Systems 
brand.  We have received Paul Schreiber's kind permission, as we are 
not going into the business of competing with him.  We expect the 
initial announcement to include 5 modules, mostly utility type 
modules.  We will not announce any module until we have an actual 
working prototype, with sound files and the plans in place for 
production.  We do expect to include Larry's JLH-822 Octave Interval 
Switcher.  These will be full kits, similar to the Synth Tech kits.  
We may also offered assembled versions.  We are also working on a 
couple of mods for existing MOTM modules.  More on that later.

Website - We will be adding to this very soon, including pictures of 
Stooge Products being manufactured.

Thanks again for your business and your patience.
