Oh 200, ok seems that i'm out of the first batch right :-(


Well, not necessarily. I am guessing that there will be a lot of people who participated in the feeler (and are thus on the list) who may not want to purchase when the time comes around.
There were also several people who were interested in 2+ mic bodies who may not want as many.

So, I am predicting that there will be 30–60 mic bodies left after the list has been gone through.
 
Aw no, looks like I missed out being on the feeler! If it's still possible to be added to the list I'd like the opportunity to buy one in this round.
 
I never took the feeler because i thought there was going to be a real list/ordering queue later on. Oh well... I hope i can get one body from you.

Ok cool. So concerning the fabrication, the headbasket will be done in china, and the body, the inside structure and the bottom in US? Or everything goes in China LOL, they are killing me, i mean there is no garanty in term of quality half of what you get could be totally crap, but the prices are insane, and could have been even less then what they asked for but they know what's it all about because of others... cool but not that cool in terms of helping your country out etc... But if the quality is good?
In a way because you're a new customer, i'm sure they will be drastic in quality to grab a business, hope it's good, but always sad to know that there was no choice for cutting prices to see things go there, i would have loved to help and participate in the making of this but, because of the prices of the metal and metal work and the need of tools ( chinese tools are pretty cheap  actually, lathe and others... LOL), well the price would have been more for sure... Thanks anyway Skylar you're the man for this project, and who knows could maybe do a small DIY Friendly business on that and i would love to help for making this happened out of China in the future, let me know if i can do something...  
 
I too have been chilling in the background and remember reading the sale would show up in White Papers and not to send in any more requests. Hope I can still get in.
 
Looks awesome!!!
Do the folks on the feeler list get first crack at picking up the bodies?
(That sounds so wrong..)
I am one of the folks on the list...
My worry is I'm minus internet at my apartment at the moment and if it is first come first serve I may not be
able to be in on the front end.

Skylar...you rock for doing this!!!
 
This is my first post, but I've been following this thread for awhile.  I own and love my Pearlman TM-1, but have never been crazy about the mic body or basket.  If it isn't too late, I'd very much like to be in on purchasing one of these mic bodies, if it is generally accepted that I will be able to transfer the guts of my TM-1 into one of these assemblies.  Thank you, Skylar!
 
Wow. The posts were coming fast and furious and now they’ve stopped. Maybe we’re all holding our breath? I’ve been lurking for quite awhile and now I’m posting to say that if it’s still possible, count me in for one. Or two if the price is right. Thank you to everyone who put the time and effort in to make this happen.
 
Just wondering if we are still getting a heads-up before you take orders... I remember earlier you said you would give like a week notice that you were about to offer them. Just want to make sure, I have been extremely busy lately so I only check on here once a week now for updates on this thread and this thread alone. I am soooo excited about this and I just don't want to miss out! I definitely want one if not two of these bad boys!!!!!!

I just realized that on the feeler thread I put down my group name as "Ian D" when it should have been just "Ian," I hope that doesn't prevent me from getting an email when the time comes.
