We have had June as our ship date since we started taking orders. Unfortunately a couple of things stacked up against us to push that forward a couple of weeks and we are currently estimating that kits will begin shipping early to mid July. We really appreciate the number of pre-orders we have received and want to let you know that just as soon as the last few parts arrive from our manufacturers there will be a big Stereomour packing and shipping party at Chateau Bottlehead. As a thank you to those who are pre-ordering and patiently waiting, we will be including a prototype version of our upcoming power cord kit.

Doc -

I'm thinking about ordering a couple of Stereomour kits.   If I ordered today, is it too late to get in on the first run (and the prototype power cord)?

thanks

Bryon

Hi Bryon,

If you order today you will get the last two kits left of the first run. And yes, we would include the power cord kits. As of today we are pretty much just waiting for chassis plates and to shoot the final set of photos for the manual.

Thanks for your order, Bryon! For anyone else who is thinking about ordering, we will be following up the first run as closely as possible with a second run. So the sooner you order, the higher in the delivery queue your order will be.

Chassis plates are still the hangup. We had a problem with the original CAD file I sent that required a redo and that has created a bit more delay. But as soon as those plates show up we are going full bore until we get them shipped.

Yay! Progress is made! We got chassis plates in, finally. Now we can get the manual photos shot and the manual completed. We will be working on the manual early next week, and packing kits at the same time. So we should see the very first kits shipping soon.

I dunno about you guys, but I am more than ready to deliver the first kits.

Ok, I could be ready :-).

Great news!  This and the fact that my wife said I can keep my Carina just made my day.

Thanks for the order! PJ, Shawn and I made great headway today, and I think Shawn and I will finish the assembly and photography of the production prototype for the manual over the next day or two. Eileen is already working out the details of shipping the first run, so we are getting really close!

Shawn and I will have the prototype assembly and photography finished this afternoon. So the last step is getting the manual done up. Should be ready some time next week.
