MOTM

>I have forwarded the initial ship list (~20 people) to Indiana. This is what I 
>expect will ship by Monday the 11th. It a tedious process to gather up the 
>orders (some folks sent in over *7* individual orders), charge the cards, type 
>up the modules, verify everything, etc. There are 5 folks that volunteered to 
>pre-charge their order back in late July: these will get shipped first.
>
> Please get your debit/credit cards in order *this week* so I can smoothly get 
> everyone's order into the queue. If you did not get a phone call tonight, then 
> you are OK :) I'm giving everyone 1 extra week (this week) because in the US 
> it was a bank/work holiday, and the first of the month (rent). This first 
> batch will allow me to pay for the outstanding bills coming due in Sept and 
> the quarterly IRS tax bill (due the 15th, ack). No $$$ for *me*, but I can 
> wait a few more weeks.
>
> But, next weekend, if I get a 'card declined' back from MC/VISA/Amex, the 
> order goes to the *rear* of the pile. Which means *November* delivery.
>
> If you get an order and it's missing VCOs, power supplies or '510s, those are 
> not shipping now because of parts issues. The '510s need more rotary switches, 
> they are from the UK and due into US customs on the 12th. It will then take ~2 
> weeks to have them wired up into the assembly and then 1 more week to go to 
> Indiana and the kitting. The tempcos have arrived for the VCOs, I need to 
> build up the kits now. But this is after I ship this set of MOTM-650s I've 
> been working on for 2 weeks. Power supplies I am just low on but can drive 
> over to Allied and pick them up if it will stop raining (drought-to-flood in 1 
> day....sigh).

> The fun never stops :)

> Lastly: if you are in an EU country, you *WILL NOT* receive solder with your 
> kits. You have to obtain it yourself. If you cannot get leaded solder, then be 
> SURE you get solder with 2% silver content.
