I have not been able to get to the kits yet. I had to 'rob' them for power 
cables and long coax wires. I am having a bit of an issue getting the new 
wire vendor to respond to my requests for new orders for the wire. It's very 
annoying :(

I also had to order more front panels to cover all the kits on order.

So, ~ 3 more weeks I'm afraid. I'll spend some time next week putting the 
kits back together I stole parts from. And I want to get the E340 pc boards 
designed and sent for prototypes by July 27th. I hope to have renderings of 
the final front panel by then as well. I designed the production front panel 
in AutoCAD yesterday, Servo is eye-balling it for me. So, things are moving 
along a bit for that. I am waiting for a quote for the pots (vertical 
mounted) so I can order.

In today's "down economy", why can't I get vendors to send me a quote so I 
can buy stuff? Seems very bizarre to me. Strangely, good old Allied 
Electronics is the best so far in fast response, quick shipping and best 
pricing (beating Mouser like a rented mule).
