MOTM

I will be back to 'regular' shipping schedule for the next several weeks. 
The MOTM-650 panels have arrived, and I will be building several units the 
next few days. Shane the tech has freed up time the next 2 weeks, so he will 
work on '410s, '830s and '300s. Around Aug 17th all the parts on order to 
complete the kits and assembled backlog should arrive. In the meantime we 
will build and ship what we can based on what is now in stock. The gating 
factors will be the second BTI pot order & the large front panel order. Wire 
from the latest vendor will be here on the 10th. I am low on the connector 
boards for MOTM-900s but have parts in stock to build 30 more and those get 
mailed Monday to the wave solder house.

On the Euro front E340 panels are released Monday for production, I have 
started to order parts (mostly metric hardware and mechanical stuff).

I still have ~ 95 assembled modules in the backlog (Ivan S. please check 
your VM!) so there is still much work to be done but certainly down from the 
~177 I had on June 1. I expect the assembled backlog will be ~ 50 by Sept. 
1st, which is a level I have not seen since May of  2003. The kit backlog is 
~ 87 total. When all the wire finally gets here, I will start finishing 
those up (I have around 50 of them either 100% done or missing the wire 
only).

I am aware many people in Europe are on holiday in August. If you have a 
pending order and will be gone, PLEASE email me. Before I ship to most 
everybody  in August, expect a email/phone call from me asking if someone 
will be there to get the package.
