Just a quick post updating the parts that have arrived:
Electronic components – Almost all bought, just the film tuning capacitors left and no availabilty problems.
Laminates – Available, buying it as needed as there’s no discount for the quantity this is using.
Brassware – Screw supplier on holiday, thumbnut supplier on vacation, I do have the washers though :).
Tubes – Have 280, the rest have just been posted earlier this week and if there aren’t any holdups should be here in 3-4 weeks.
PCBs – about 1000 piece base PCBs should be ready by the end of this week, enough for 30 kits. Board PCBs will be next weeks work.
When the PCBs are ready I can assemble one kit and prepare the kit instructions, about a week after that there should be some ready to start shipping. Maybe. 😉
I’m hoping to get a kit in time to assemble and show at Maker Faire Pittsburgh 2012 – September 22…..
My target is to have them all out by the end of August…..
