Prices on damn near everything have increased incredibly. Some transformers have recently gone up 50%, panel prices are up, PC boards are up, JR has had to give in and raise prices on wood bases (thanks for hanging in so long on the pricing JR), tubes, capacitors - you name it. Wire has been insane for some time now. A spool of wire now costs about the same as a Stereomour kit.
So you all have been notified. Prices will be increasing.
