Doepfer

Based on interest expressed from your letters (thank you!) and 
after speaking with Dieter and getting the thumbs up to produce 
my VCO, it looks I'm going to do just that in a limited quantity.  

These will be marketed under the company name 'Plan B' and 
will be in Doepfer height, 90mm wide (45HP), will use the same 
jacks as Doepfer but with the soft touch knobs used by Analogue 
Systems.  The will run on either +/112 or +/-15 and will use 
Doepfer's 16 pin dual in line power configuration on the PCBs. 
For a general idea of what this VCO will look like, go here:

I'm going to d a maximum of 25 pieces, but will need a minimum 
of a 10 piece order to go forward with this.

Price:  $200.00. 

Payment:  50% down, 50% plus shipping (FOB Los Angeles, CA) 
on completion prior to shipment.  Paypal is preferred, money 
orders accepted, please no cash or cpersonal checks.

Schedule:

I am not by any means even close to a large scale manufacturer.  
I am requesting 50% down so that the components may be 
purchased and the faceplates and PCBs can be produced. I 
have about a week's worth of finalization to do on the design to 
get it to production status.  Once this happens and orders are 
received, I will purchase the raw materials and we can expect 4 
weeks from that date for delivery of the PCBs and faceplates.  I 
will need approx 1 day per unit for assembly, testing and 
calibration after that.  I apologize for the way I have to handle this, 
but again - I'm not a large scale manufacturer!

These will come with a 1 year warranty for anomalies caused by 
manufacturing.  Damage due to misuse must be billed, but at 
only a $25 surcharge during the first year (not including parts).

I AM NOT TAKING ORDERS YET!  I do ask that you contact me 
offline to determine the demand for this module and if it warrants 
going into production.  During this time I'll be working on the 
design finalization.

Due to the complexity of this assemnby I will not be able to sell 
bare PCBs at this time.  This VCO incorporates a 
heat-conductive epoxy encaspulated sub module for 
temporature stability and both through hole and SMT 
components - it's a tricky assembly process.  

So let me know if you're interested and thanks again for 
expressing interest in this instrument.
