    Hi Stan,
    I can live with that and I wouldn't really expect anything different from you. Just put me at the top of the post-Caiman shipment list - ignore the others who got in earlier - age hath it's priviliges (sp?), they tell me.
    I've sent you the requisite e-mail ordering one - look forward to hearing from you.
    Cheers,
    DaveK.

    I am, Iam (not). I've got an excuse, old age pensioners are expected to act disgracefully aren't we? .
    Anyway, I've got less time than you so I should be first, so I just don't care, - as I said, "Age hath it's privileges", problem is there are so few of 'em.

    From a fellow manufacturer, not only does this seem like a good offer, but it is in the correct section for advertising!

    Well done Stan!

    Regards

    Just to clarify a point raised via email:
    The offer on the special price is for Caiman owners who are members of AoS.
    In the case of AoS TC-7520 owners , you'll be expected to pay the full cost price, which is yet to be worked out. It all depends on the exchange rate on the day the goods clear Customs.
    For non-AoS members there will be a small surcharge levied.

    Also note some additional technical information that I shall be posting very soon in 'The Drawing Board' for those who are into modifying their unit. i.e. those with soldering skills.

    I am aware that I could have put the PSU on my site at some ridiculous high price, as many "manufacturers" might have been inclined to do. But what's a few ££ amongst friends?
