METAL finally
2002-10-25 by J. Larry Hendry
Well, I stopped in the old metal shop today, slung away my pond scum, and found: 283 finished flat rails. Screws to put in the holes to keep them clean will be here Monday. So, they go to powdercoat before the end of next week. Powdercoat should have them 2 or 3 weeks. So, if you have sent me a note in the last few months inquiring about flat rails, you will be getting an invoice soon for delivery just before Thanksgiving. Most of these flat rails are already spoken for. But, when current orders are filled (need to count carefully) I may have some leftover for stock. And, yes I will order more. SKB backs and lids. They go to powdercoat Monday or Tuesday. So, if you ordered one of these, and have paid for it, expect delivery also just before Thanksgiving. There may be one or two of you (one I know for certain one in Japan) that I have not invoiced for SKB case backs. Fear not, I need to get a handle on what the overseas shipping will be by actually asking at the PO when I ship a domestic one. I will get back to you with an invoice amount after that. I did order up extra SKB backs. So, the 10U tall ones and lids will be a normal stock item at least for a while. Unless they sell better than what these have, this may be a one time deal for me. Time will tell. I will get a photo one of the SKB backs installed in a case up on my website this weekend. Of course, it won't be painted. But, you can just imagine how nice it will look with paint.
