*** Ok, looks like we now havequite a number of transformers in the queue.  Eileen requests that folks email her their orders and she will send you a paypal invoice (you can use a PP account if you have one, or a major credit card) and that all orders must be in by first thing on July 9th and then this group buy will close.

BH will handle payment and shipping.  Thanks again everybody -- glad we were able to pull enough orders together to make this happen!  JR -- 06/29/2012 ***


** Ok, today Eileen got back to me with a price from their winder -- $86 each, plus shipping.  I don't yet have a cutoff date and I assume that for the most part this is going to be a one-time deal, and I'm also assuming Bottlehead will handle the distribution (if that's not the case, then Dan or Eileen, please PM me with any changes.)  So, I'm firmly in for one pair, but maybe two depending on when the cutoff is.   JR-6/28/12 **

** Just FYI, I do have Doc's blessing on this and I'll be calling Eileen tomorrow (6/26/2012) as that's when she'll be back in the office, and then I'll update this post with details like prices, etc.  -- JR **


Ok, for all those interested in potentially purchasing a run of PT2 power transformers for the paramour IIs and SR-45s, let this be the official thread.

I will contact Eileen or Dan this coming week and get particulars on pricing, delivery, etc. and will post that here.

Anybody who is interested in one or more pairs should post their intention to buy, plus how many they want in this thread and this will serve as the offical count.

Please, to keep it easier for me, don't post anything in this thread unless you are intending to buy -- again, I'll post prices when I get them so if you must know the price beforehand, please wait until I post it.

Also, if you decide you want more or less than your original post states, please edit the post instead of reposting.  Basically I'm trying to keep this thread to people who are interested and one post per person, so please ask general questions elsewhere.

I'll set a cutoff date once I know what prices are and give a reasonable time for people to respond.

Sorry for all the rules, but I've run group buys in the past, and this just makes it far easier for me to manage this way.

I will edit this post (at the top of the post) with pricing and cutoff dates when I know them.

Thanks,

Jim

I'm absolutely in for one pair. If the price is right I'll make that three pairs.

The PT-2 is the power transformer used in the Paramour II, you already have them. People are buying these for replacements in the original Paramour and for DIY projects.

Not sure if this has been made clear, but to get in on this deal you just need to call or email Eileen - 206-451-4275 or queen at bottlehead dot com. she can take your card info over the phone or send you a Paypal invoice.

Just a reminder that today is your last day to get your order in to Eileen.  From what I understand, she'll be placing the order with the winder tomorrow.

Thanks all for playing our game -- your prize will be in the mail to you soon.

Looks like my TXs arrived this week.

Thanks again to Eileen for handling the order, taking payments and shipping the parts -- don't know what we'd do without you, Eileen!
