Hi Paul,

Yay for the 480 kit! Really looking forward to this one for a long time.

Best of luck to you (and Scott) with the 3.0 business.

Best regards,
Ben

Here is the first update going forward with MOTM 3.0 :)
KITS
====
The first order of business is to ship out the entire kit backlog. This will take ~ 2 weeks. Most of that time is making up ~ 9 MOTM-480 kits. Most of the other kits I have or will make up very soon (next 3 days).
EXTRA KITS
=========
If there are any leftover full kits, I will place them in the cart. I will then announce they are there. They will ship within 48 hours on receipt of order.
POSTAGE
========
Postage is going up this week. All orders in the backlog will ship at the old postage rate. New orders will reflect an increase in postage.
ASSEMBLED
==========
Once the kits are 100% shipped, I will start shipping the assembled backlog. I am having additional tech help for doing this. As of today, there are 177 assembled modules in the backlog. That is a lot to do. On a 'good day' I can build and ship 5-8 depending on what they are. So, it's going to take a bit but I am on MOTM *full time* for several months at least. The goal is that the backlog is 100% shipped by May 1, when BrideChamber takes over. I do not see this being a problem.
NEW 5U
=======
Yes, both SMT refreshes and new designs (like the Morphing Terrarium and a super Cloud Generator) are in the pipeline. I am going to put over $20,000 of R&D money into starting over with MOTM, to correct the delivery issue and have new modules to play with. I am not going to address the thru-hole DIY market. CGS and YSynth, current MOTM designs and other may do so. I will focus on modules you can order on Monday and play them on Friday. In the same week. Of the same YEAR (cough).
