Dear Friends,
after a week of delay with some ordered parts that wouldn't show up, I finally have 99% of my supplies to complete the CF 4.3 batch and I'm no more stuck in second gear.
I'm happy to announce the release date for October 24th, 8 PM, Paris time.
I'm pushing the date that far since :
- I'm still missing a few micro SD card
- It will give Novastar a little more time to finish and burn his compendium CD #2, then send them to me.
- I'm attending the FACTs 2009 convention on the 17-18th and I have several things to complete before then.
Boards are now 80% assembled. Probably 90% or more by the week-end.
We will release some bundles with CF, like CF + compendium CD#2 (Around 20 of them) and possibly CF + CD#1 + CD#2 (a few of them). Novastar's CDs should hit my desk by the end of the month, so don't ask about shipping. CF + CD bundles will ship when the CDs will be there.
I will release also a few luxeon dimmer/drivers, around 15 blaster cores, a couple of them with the mini screens. I do have some more screens, so if you find only the regular ones in stock, email us to see if we can help. Some polyC blades, film and clearance items will be proposed too.
As usual, shipping will be spread over a month maximum. Now the work in the house is over, I have more time for shipping, so it will be *much faster* compared to last year batch.
Please be aware that CF price might increase of 1-2 euro due to the use of a 2 GB micro SD card (good for you, more space for iSaber music tracks). I still have to check that on the bill of materials / parts.
I also very pleased to announce officially the official Plecter Labs Tech Station run by independant Electronic Engineer and Sabersmith Eandori. He's now fully operationnal at Saber Tech Shop and repairing CF is only one of his numerous skills !
See the details about CF repairs & upgrades (As a rule of the thumb, Saber Tech handles North America mostly but not only, and I do EU) and pay a visit to the brand new website of Saber Tech Shop.
