GB for F6 Convertible Clone boards

[gmant123]

Hi Buzz:

Just in case, remember that I also need a pair of extra CineMag daughters boards.
If need a extra payment, please let me know.

Alberto.

I will Alberto. As a matter of fact, i dont think i charged anyone for the daughter boards, but ill double check. Both Jensens and cinemags should begin production soon, so hopefully these will ship in 4 weeks, per their time quote.

Hi Buzz,

Justin do we have any news on the GB?

Sorry for being impatient

 

[buzzforb]

Just waiting on transformers.

 

[skunark]

Any updates on the transformers and when things can ship?

Jim

 

[buzzforb]

dont have either transformers yet. Ill check.

 

[dimkasta]

Damn transformers... any news Justin?

 

[buzzforb]

I received an email from Cinemag that they were shipping soon. That was last week. I expect the Jensens to be waiting for me when i get home from business trip. I have to finish the remaining F5T GB and then I will start shipping the kits.

Maybee OT in thread..?
But is it okay to mount the F6 pcb sligtly towards back on the heatsink (not centered) to get the Jensen trafos more away from the toroid.How will that affect heatspreding?

 

[buzzforb]

Should be fine.

 

[Ryssen]

The box is waiting for the amps.

 

[buzzforb]

Nice, Ake. Everything is here except for Cinemag's but they are officially on their way. I have to match the fets and all is a go. I would imagine shipment will start next week. those not getting fets may get a jump on others. Anyone who has not paid, please contact me. THere are a few left. Thank you all for your patience.

I have about 10 boards left and some SemiSouth stash is refreshed. PM me anyone who is interested.

Hi Tea-Bag,

I need another two pieces of Cinemag daughter board if you still have some spares over there. I actually ordered four Cinemag trans from Buzzforb but I have currently had only two Cinemag daughter boards.

I sent you a Invoice for them.
I still have all types of the daughter cards in stock.

Hi Justin,

I am not in a hurry, but I would suggest more accurate delivery-time information for the next group buy. On March 11 you wrote:

3-4 weeks on Cinemag transformers from date they receive check. I am overnighting it. Will also call and order Jensen's tomorrow.

It is now closer to 3 months than 3 weeks.

Don't minunderstand, I appreciate your work in organizing the GB. Just would have liked to have known this beforehand.

The Cinemags were delayed, as he had to reject some due to lamination issues. I have had them for a little over a week. This will be my last GB. Just don't have the time for it. FWIW, I will start shipping next week.

Hi Justin,

Thanks for the update. Like I said earlier, I appreciate the work you are putting into this GB (as well as previous GB's!). It is a shame that the suppliers are letting you (and us) down by promising timetables they cannot keep.

Have a great weekend.

Albert

I am by no means blaming this on Cinemag. If I was ahead of the game, I would have had everything ready to go as soon as they arrived. I didn't. I also appreciate his willingness to take a loss on cost in order to maintain quality control. It is becoming a rare thing these days. I am sorry for the length of time, but all statements were made in good faith. Thank you all for your patience and I believe it will be worth the wait.
