That sounds great man, These are being direct shipped right, if so does that mean after customs we can expect to see them in the next couple of weeks.

 

[buzzforb]

No. THey are being drop shipped to me. Direct shipment was more expensive for 90% of the buyers.

 

[necplusultra]

I thought they were being direct shipped for canadians

 

[buzzforb]

For Canadians, they are. Duder is in Nebraska

Hi Justin.

Any news and ETA.

 

[buzzforb]

Got final list and approval. Bank transfer happens Monday. I would expect more specific time frame early next week.

 

[buzzforb]

Richard says he expects to be done winding the 800 and 1000VA toroids by the end of may. The 400-600VA will be done after that. Ill let you know about any updates.

 

[duder1982]

Thanks for the update Buzz.

I assume the GB is now closed, so no chance of sneaking in some trafos from my side?

I tried going direct to Primrose, but the shipping is enormous.

This was Richard's quote to me:

Transformer: Cdn $ 162/e.

Postage to Strand, 7140, South Africa,

Two methods through Canada post:

1) Air mail: Cdn $ 226.00 .

2) Surface Mail ( transit time much longer) $ 116.00.

 

[buzzforb]

Give me your exact order. I can ask. Shippinng may be close to that, depending on size, but I will not know until i found out specifics.

Any updates to report?

 

[buzzforb]

Richard wrote Friday that he was done with 800 and 1000VA transformers, was working on 400, and had stuff for 600. Based on what I expect, I am thinking I will begin shipment after July 4th holiday.

Great!!!

 

[buzzforb]

I think so

 

[billyk]

Sounds good.
Now please, this is not a complaint, far from it because I am glad I decided to get these. But to think this started (if I remember correctly!!) because of the fire at Antek and we needed some iron... sooner than later.

 

[buzzforb]

We live in a society that has been trained for same day delivery. In reality, that is a fairly modern notion. I am most certainly slanted that way. I can only give updates and don't remember saying this was quick alternative. I bought these for quality, as they will be going in my final amps. I believe they are worth the wait. I understand the excitement, but think you may be surprised how long it tskes to actually get these amps built.

 

[duder1982]

Buzz thanks for all the updates,

 

[buzzforb]

I appreciate the participation and patience from everyone. Good things come to those who wait.

I guess I should not have posted... I had that thought when I saw the date. Definitely not a complaint in any way, just got a chuckle out it when I thought of it and wanted to share.
I have not purchased heatsinks yet, still saving for them. I am very happy to have been able to get in on this, believe me!! I probably would not have considered these and here I am buying several!
Words cannot express how grateful I am to folks like buzzforb. Without you I would not have the opportunity to get these fine, fine things.
