Any update on status of this GB. A lot of $$ has been sent and not much results shared recently. How are we looking here Brian? I'm hoping progress is being made behind the scenes.
@ brian92fs, Why have we lost all communication with you on the status of this GB, especially with regards to the ordering of components from Profusion.
Don't leave us hanging like this, this is DIY and operates with trust through members.

Note: @MOER, hang on until we hear from Brian, he is the $$ man

My apologies everyone. I've been tied up at work and neglecting this effort... not that it's a good excuse. I'm going through messages now to calculate the size of an order from Profusion for KEC P-Channel to replace the Onsemi KSA1381E that are now unobtainable. I'll update again once I get it figured out (later tonight).
Profusion order is placed. The pricing will remain at the $30 / 100 for the P channels which are now KEC KTA1381-Y.
Thanks everyone for the patience with this... hopefully we are close to wrapping up this GB.
I'll working on refunds this week for those that opted to drop out.

Profusion order arrived. I'll work over the next week getting the 2SC3503E / KTA1381Y orders out for those that have already paid. Once this is done, I'll send info out to the remaining participants for payment info.

This is an organised Group Buy supervised by Brian. Casual sales should be made in either Swap Meet or Vendors Bazaar as appropriate.PLEASE EXPLAIN WHY MY POST SHOULD BE MOVED AS IT PERTAINS TO THE SUBJECT BEING DISCUSSED.
After a few bumps in the road, it's great to see this GB will complete with many transistors flying around the globe bringing smiles to DIY'ers!
Thanks for all your effort @brian92fs , you can remove me from the list. I procured 100x of the KEC (KTC/KTA) parts from profusion recently and we are putting them through scrutineering for the wolverine. Results will be in the build thread hopefully soon.
Added info to the first post for Round 3 which is open based on what I currently have in stock. This includes info on how many pieces are unallocated and available for new participants.
You'll see there is a surplus of 2SC3503E. This is due to participants that joined, then backed out after the 2SC3503E order had been placed and after the KSA1381E order was canceled by Mouser.
If enough interest in pairs for Round 3 is established, we can look at another purchase of KTA1381Y once Profusion has them in stock again (they're are currently showing a stock of 4). You can always opt in for just 2SC3503E if that meets your needs.
I'd like these to go to a good home as I've already paid for them, and can't see myself needing 1400 pieces of 2SC3503E (that would be a lot of amps!).
