Same if we could do pcb, transformers, panels etc to reduce costs, I’d be in for a pair. Edit: I’m in for a pair/ 2 units.

To avoid some confusion: nielsk is setting up a group buy here for the parts that will need to come from the EU, although I'll let him specify exactly what he's planning to include. I have a separate thread where I am taking names for PCBs (I saw your message there and I've added you to the list). I will have PCBs manufactured at the end of the ordering window, and your boards will come from me directly (I'm in the US).

 

[dmp]

I'm interested for 2

 

[duantro]

hey Jman, I saw this thread first when I made the comment. I read the pcb thread since and understand now. Cheers.

I'm in Australia rather than USA, but potentially interested if you can swing bulk buy and shipping discounts big enough that it works out cheaper for me to order from you and ship from USA to Australia than for me to put in a small order directly to EU. I'm looking at sourcing 6 units all up on behalf of some other locals. Anyone else in Australia interested?

 

[oldskool1]

I'll chip in for 5

 

[TimG]

I’d like to find out how much ballpark the bundle will be. The panel kit from Frank is $130 approx in USA each plus $30 shipping.
With the transformers and inductors ?

But I’m interested in getting costs down on a pair!

 

[JMan]

Keep in mind that it should be a bit less expensive to get the front panel made with anodized aluminum instead of powder coat. That probably needs to be a discussion between the folks participating in the group buy. Again, if you want to see a comparison of the two, look in the project thread and note the difference between my unit and Herbert's pair.

 

[keninverse]

I’m interested in two.

 

[Forcemusicgroup]

Looking at 4 pair. Awaiting to get price down.

 

[nielsk]

Running list updated, we are getting to a point where we should be able to get quantity pricing!

 

[MHanson]

Depending on pricing, I'll either do 4 or I'll do eight.

O/T & F/P - No preference

 

[McCroskey42]

[31hz]

I’m good for 2. Thanks for organizing this.

 

[nielsk]

1st post updated, please read!

 

[materials to outlet]

I would like 2, thanks!

I’d prefer powder coated and engraved or silk screened. Love Frank’s work and would prefer that. I’ve had 5 panels made there and love his paint colors. Nice vintage colors.
Collective cases are good, but some of the artwork is a little less cool imo. The prr, pm670,…. I know those are older projects, just saying.
I’m indifferent on utc or cinemag. Both are great.
