Fed Ex Tracking

Parts box came in today... wow!

Chassis... did anyone receive fedex tracking info? I don't seem to have it, though all my email contacts checked out with the store.

Only reason I'm a little concerned is that ItsAllInMyHead is a friendly chap just down the road from me and he has is chassis.

Thanks and wow... just wow... so grateful.

Yikes, guys! Chassis and parts kit are both here.

Unfortunately, my insane work schedule will prevent me from claiming the first build of this historic amp (that's probably an inconsequential distinction anyhow).

I bet someone else is probably just about done with theirs as well.

I notice the serial number of the chassis is written on the outside of the box. I'm guessing they are keeping the first set of amps under 90, and keeping the numbers from 91-200 for the second issue.

Anyone else notice a number written on the lower right corner of their chassis shipping box?

I hope everyone gets their full kits soon.

The numbering seemed like a fun idea because there was a limited number of parts kits, and a unique number on the outside would the icing on the cake. 200 seemed like a good number that would cover any eventuality plus a few extra. 00x were put aside for internal use and HF2K has shipped from 010 onwards so far. If we do this kind of thing again, some more thought might go into any numbering, but I hope anyone who ended up with one found it added something to the experience.
