Potential MPC74 Fukushima resistors GB for EUVL's FX5

[pchw]

Thanks for the update, Greg.
Please let me know when you want me to deliver the other parts to you to ship.
I will be off from Dec 22 'til Jan 2 but will be in Bay Area most of the time. So, I am quite flexible.

Thanks Fred.
I'll be around town during the holidays this year as well. We'll figure out a good time to meet up as soon as I have the remaining Fuku's in hand.

Thanks Fred and Horio.
I won't be out for a winter vacation and shall be available for receipt of your parcel and immediate distribution among the European participants.

Re: posts 259, 269 & 270

May we have an update?

 

[qusp]

sorry but yeah what am i still waiting for again? i periodically come in here to check up, its been 3-4 weeks since i have, has anything changed?

 

[Horio]

The 0R22 resistors have been done for a while now, and flg is finishing up the 0R47 resistors. He has been swamped at work, and has not had much time to dedicate to matching the last of the 0R47 resistors. As soon as he completes the matching, we will mail the resistors out to everyone.

I really appreciate how patient everyone has been. Flg and I both make a living doing other things, and it can be very hard to find time to match 2000 power resistors when work gets busy. Matching these resistors at operating conditions is a very time consuming process (I alone spent well over 50 hours matching the 0R22's).

Good news is, the beta boards and cases will likely arrive sometime next month and everyone should have their resistors in time for that.

thanks Greg, no problem, i just need to pop in every now and again to remind that i'm not waiting for the combination with anything else, just the resistors. i know you guys have lives and it all takes time, i'm good with that. ive used mills and soon to have tx221 for the rest of the positions, but i'm sure i'll find some use for the fukus, who knows, perhaps even an f5X

 

[qusp]

any update? i could actually really use them at the moment

 

[Horio]

I'm checking with flg on the status right now.

thanks Greg

The latest I know is that Greg is trying to recover the 0R47 resistors from Lee, matched or unmatched.
I already mentioned to him that he should consider shipping the rest first while waiting for this.
While we all have a living to make and any matching work is voluntary, it is unfortunate that one matching action is holding up the rest.
But please give Greg a chance to find a pregmatic solution, in the interest of all.

Greg, please correct me as necessary.

Thanks Patrick,

If I still have not received the 0R47 resistors from Lee in the next week or so, I will ship out the Mosfets/Keratherm, 0R22 and PRP resistors alone. I want to make sure the resistors do not hold up everyone's ability to start building the F5X, with the cases shipping and the heatsinks soon to follow.

I apologize for how long this has taken, and I really appreciate everyone's patience.

Thanks Horio,

I have two questions in case the 0R47s aren't available then:

- Would you ship to the local distributors, too or only within the US?

- Would it be feasible to ship the 0R47s together with the boards, where appropriate?

 

[Horio]

Hey Heinz,

I would ship the 0R22/PRP/Mosfets/Keratherm to the distrubtors just like normal. The 0R47's could be shipped in the same fashion, when the Beta Boards arrive.

 

[BigE]

If the 0R22 could go early, I'd be ecstatic.

 

[qusp]

i dont even care that much if my 0.47 are matched, it would be nice yes, but well... at this stage i'm not that fussed.

have you heard from Lee Greg?

 

[Horio]

I did hear back from Lee. The 0R47 resistors should be sent to me this week.

 

[Marra]

Good news indeed.

 

[qusp]

hear hear!
