PCBs are ordered today. I was suprised to find I was able to get them made for much cheaper than I expected and 3 day turnaround! But, assembly is still, by far, the largest part of the cost and I'm STILL waiting on the one assembler to get back to me with a quote. I do have a quote from the same company I'm having the PCBs made, but it seems a little high, so I'm still waiting on the other place. I will go with them if I don't have a quote from the other place by the time I get the PCBs and parts.

Anyway, since I was able to get the fast turn around on the PCBs, I should have the BARE boards next week along with the parts, which will then go off to the assembler (which ever one) to be assembled. The place I have a quote from already offered me a 1 week lead time (plus 3-5 days shipping), but I'll have to see what the other place can do (if they ever get back to me).

So, that means that, if there are no hold-ups, I should have them by the end of the month, possibly earlier.

maybe you already post something about this, but how many drivers are you selling in the pre-sell????

I'll be sure to keep this thread updated with when to expect the drivers to be in. And, you'll receive a shipping notification when they are in the mail.

And, good news! I got my quote on assembly from the other place and I'm definitely going with them (much more reasonable price). I'm hoping to have all the parts and PCBs next week, then get them shipped over to the assembler and possibly done by the end of the month. They give a 2-3 week lead time on assembly and I may get them everything around June 15th. The rep I spoke with said getting them by the end of the month probably won't be a problem.

The pre-sale is not for kits. I will have a lower price on kits when I start selling them again, though.

The kits will be for the old version of the driver until I can sell up the rest of the PCBs and parts, which are about 100 fixed type and 450 adjustable. But, I will be selling them for cheaper than before.

could use at least 20-30 adj. kits if you got 'em. may need some test loads if you have any of the kits for those as well.

Kits with new, lower prices are now up for sale. These are limited offers until I run out of the older stuff. Newer version drivers will be slightly more, but not on sale until I sell the previous version. So, help me clear out the old version and save some money!

If you order by 6/14, it will ship by 6/16. This DOES NOT include pre-sale assembled drivers. If you order pre-sale drivers along with kits, your kits will not ship until I get the pre-sale drivers. You must order SEPARATELY to get kits earlier.
