Hi All,

Just to give all of you a brief update on the F5X case build, we have not stoped working during lockdown.

Of the machining only the front is still under way, all else is done.
Now we need to wait for anodizing shop to open after this pandemic lockdown and then ship to you.

Here are some images of the machining and heatsink media blasting.

Due to the closure of many shops during this pandemic, the anodizer is also closed but expected to be up and running again sometime in May.

We will forge ahead with the Preamp cases and will most likely anodize F5X and F5XP all together.

One more ...before last ...Update

Here are some more pictures of case Assembly tests and final prep work of parts before taking them to Anodizer on Monday next.

After that it's shipping to you.

The two options we are considering is sending case disassembled with all the necessary screws to do the assembly, as this might be cheaper for you.

Of course the other option is saving you an hours work and sending it assembled but this will be more expensive because of volume.

We are getting various shipping options and will publish here for you to choose.

Hello All,

Good news, The Anodizer has finished work on the Amp cases after reopening post Covid-19.

During the following week i will be sending you individual shipping options, here is hoping there are no shipping restrictions to your individual country.

Anyway you will get information on shipping.

I will also expect second instalment payment for those that only paid first instalment as well as the shipping cost according to your choice.

After getting information from your as to your choice of shipping I will send each one the specific total prior to shipping.

Carlos
