Please let me know if it is not too late to get in on this group buy. I just found out about it tonight, thanks.

I'm afraid it is too late, now. JRossel bought 20 boards - you might contact him.

I'm looking for a couple of boards if anyone has extras. My amp just died this weekend and I miss the group buy for this by a week.

Just paid for mine... I forgot to check my paypal email addy

but the money is in and I'll have to send Colin an email quick just to let him know what happened.

I also missed out on getting one. If anyone has a spare board they are willing to sell, please contact me.

Can we get an ETA for boards or a timetable as to when we might expect get them? I realize that Colin may be still collecting funds before placing the order. Just curious.

Big Guy, I don't know when Colin will place the order for the pcbs, maybe he already has? But from that point it will typically take 2 to 3 weeks to get the boards fabricated and have them shipped to Colin. Then he's stuck with the unenviable task of packing and shipping more than a hundred different orders. I'd say it'd be a herculean effort if you saw the boards in roughly a month's time.

I don't want to upstage Colin, but since this came up and Nate asked the question: I heard from Colin last night and the boards have been ordered. Delivery is expected mid-to-late July timeframe (it's a big order!). You will have to grant Colin an amount of time beyond that to get them shipped to everyone - perhaps a couple of weeks as Nate suggests.

One day, someone will have to invent a method that will allow a team of people to work on a record-setting Group Buy. Colin is all by himself in doing this, so please continue to be patient.

I believe he's going to try to update the Headwize list, but he got a lot of e-mail/Paypal addresses that did not include forum usernames. So, he's going to have a tough time cross-referencing the list. However, if you were invoiced and you paid, then you'll get your boards - the forum usernames have nothing to do with that.

P.S. Sounds like plenty of time for DigiKey to get their stock replenished for Panasonic 1000uF, 50V FM's (7/17/07), but keep an eye on it.

Thanks for the update TOMB!
I am gettin my parts lined up for the board now.
Maybe some more urls for the newbies who will have trouble finding parts is needed.

You are welcom, but more url's? What would you suggest beyond the MAX website? There are plenty of suggestions on the BOM and elsewhere.
