MOTM

>I announced MOTM 8 years ago today :)
>
> I am starting tax calculations today, and 2005 sales were $199,897 (MOTM + 
> CEM/SSM chips).
>
> I think this is my 3rd best sales year, $$$-wise (1999 and 2000 were well over 
> this, the "good old days").
> However, don't quit your day job (I'm not!). Expenses were around $163,000 :) 
> After taxes, I'll wind up with
> around $24,000 which is $15/hr. or about $23.18/module shipped. Yipee.
>
> As of today, they number of modules shipped is 6729. With the backlog, the 
> total is approaching 7000 which
> IMHO is "not shabby" and probably #2 behind Doepfer. I doubt any of the other 
> suppliers have approached this.
> I would guess .com is in the 3800 range and Modcan (A+B) is around 2000-3000.
>
> And there are over 1000 Stooge panels out there, too!
>
> Thanks to everyone putting up with my delivery issues, "where's my order" 
> issues, parts issues and all other
> problems associated with my little hobby. I doing the best I can in the time I 
> have. Wait until you get your MOTM-650,
> the wait will be worth it :)
