Cyndustries Update
2008-12-05 by Cynthia
Howdy, here's a quick Cyndustries Update! Module Shipping Frenzy! We have recently regained possession of all of our Low Pass Gate and Zeroscillator and boards and front panels and after a two week assembly marathon I am happy to say that the Low Pass Gates are finally about to start shipping next week along with more Mix Six Mixers, Anything Modules, Dividers, and some Zeroscillators. ZOe Progress We're again dealing with an unexpected circuit board layout file compatibility issue. The first of two custom Buchla format circuit boards is done and fits all of the front panel components perfectly. The main connector was inadvertently wired backwards, but that is not an issue as we discovered the need for another simple circuit board assembly in order to be able to fit the whole apparatus into the oh, so shallow Buchla "boat" enclosures... it is in this new boards that the main 50-pin connector gets flopped the correct way and the whole assembly becomes about an inch less deep. We're struggling to get these boards complete now before we can gallop forward into final assembly on all of the ZOe units. In the meantime we are still buying mass lots of parts such as all of the funny little Bucla style power/edge connector thingies, and all of the miniphones, the black jacks, and blue jacks, panels, etc. This is taking longer than expected and I apologize, but I also know that these will be highly desirable, pure sweet sounding analog with our famous analogue FM sound, and there will never be another module quite like them. We are only making (24) units total. Our present deadline for shipping isValentine's day February 14th. Hopefully before then, however it is especially hard to predict because business (retail) across the country has slowed to the lowest levels since 1970 by some estimates, and since 1948 by some other estimates! We're still plugging away, but few dollars are coming in at the moment, while in the background we are in a major building & shipping frenzy in time for Christmas and a huge amount of funds are going out for parts and payroll. Blazing BackOrders Thank you for your patience and please know that we are focused 16 hours a day working on getting everyone their orders as fast as possible. We've shipped well over a thousand orders to over six-hundred customers in twenty-five countries and still going quite strong. The highest priority we have is getting everyone's back ordered items out as quickly as possible. We are very close to fulfilling every single back order! MixSix Mixers $199.00 Special we know most everyone is going through a crunch right now so we've discounted our Modcan format MixSix Mixers to an unprecedented new low in time for Xmas at only $199 each!
