Decware integrated

build yr own. Easy peasy. It’s a very basic circuit. The schematics are out there. Parafeed versions, CCS versions, you name it. Use Edcor or Tamradio iron for a reasonable facsimile, tube roll, choose yr own boutique coupling capacitors and have fun

Is there some reason they don’t just employ another person for at least some part of the process? 

They actually hired 3 new people. A Tech, QA and admin person.

I've been on the list since mid April 2021. Think I started about 330.I'm now in the 140's so figuring 4 to 5 months still to go. That was a the start of the escalation, so 16 months is optimistic, It's probably closer to 3 years if you order now.
