The amplifier boards arrived today, and I spend several hours tonight packaging up the pcbs for shipping out tomorrow. I have started with the US orders first, and have most of them done, which accounts for 1/2 of the total orders. I will be dropping them off at the post office tomorrow morning. I will work over the next few days to get the rest of the orders done (international orders will take a few days longer, as I have to fill out a customs form for each one.)
There are still a few extra boards, and I will keep accepting orders on the website until they are gone.
I attached a picture of the packages that I prepared this afternoon/evening. I will post more pcb pictures soon.

Great news Brian
Any chance of sending the boards as " samples " and declared at $10 please. im sure other interenational buyers would be interested too and that would warrant spending a small amount of time putting them in an extra pile. this would avoid a large customs charge. If however you consider it too timme consuing I would understand. you are doing an excellent job!

This is possible for the customs forms. I will start working on the international orders tonight.
I have finished all of the US orders. I attached a picture of the US orders, which I will drop off at the post office in a few minutes. (a few of these are chipamp orders)

This is very wise indeed. It will save some money for the custom and broker fees.
Buy the way Brian, don't forget to credit one shipping fee for me because I ordered the boards separately (amp and psu). So I paid the shipping twice. If it is possible of course.
Thanks again
So Brian is single handedly keeping the USPS people employed outside the Christmas season!
Thanks again for all of your work in this tremendous effort.

They were quite happy with me today, as I brought along an assorted dozen of donuts from Dunkin Donuts. Just wait until they have to process my international orders tomorrow
They all know me by name now.

Ill be ordering parts pretty soon here and then i have to wait for anthony to match 1000 IRFP240's so that will take 2 weeks if not more i also might get him to mail out the fets i don't know yet. 1000 fets to match is going to take some time : O )
Pics of the amp boards?
Hey Brian,
I caught a glimpse of them on the floor there with the shipping packages, but could you post a bigger pic of the amplifier boards? 😀

Jason, it took me 12+ hours of straight sitting to do 350 fets. 1000 is nuts. poor anthony is gonna go blind and crazy from staring at a clock!
more power to him though!

2 free boards...36 hours of work. Wow, Anthony is one cool guy to be doing this! but then again, we already knew that 🙂 My problem is what took me so long was labelling everything by hand... i need to get a labeller.

A labeler could be sweet or a felt marker and label them fets on the back side witch is what i did for all my first fets for my other amp.. I have another suprize for anthony also : O )
I went to the local office supply place. there were 1/2x3/4" avery labels that i could stick into my printer and do numbers...so each fet got a number, then when i got a value out of the multimeter/jig whatever, i wrote it down and it corresponded to that fet #. the only problem is, that i didn't have any printable labels for actually grouping the fets. so, i hand wrote it all w/ maskingtape. a surprise for anthony? do we get pics eventually? 🙂

Pictures yes.. You should try what i did. Use a fine tip jiffy marker or permanent marker and lable the fets on the back on the metal part.

That involves writing. 
writing is work. i think its not a bad idea if you are doing a few fets, but hundreds need special attention otherwise you'll go crazy. when i match, i keep all the numbers in an excel file so i know what fets go where, with what groups, and to what people. maybe i'm too organized like that, too much science not enough fun...i dunno 🙂

How do you keep the numbers in order with each fet do you still put a sticker on each fet ?
I guess if anthony sent me half i could help do this too as i have a nice multi meter and a nice desk to sit at and do some to. I could do all the other fet's..
