Photo-etched Parts Now in Stock.
Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2014 3:08 am
Hi Guys
I now have in stock all the photo-etched parts to complete all current orders. Batch 1 came in last week and batch 2 today. This is the largest order I have ever placed and consists of 68 sheets of 12" x 18". As you can see from the pictures the larger parts come pre-shorted, but the smaller parts come in bags of mixed parts from each sheet. There are 45 bags of these parts which have to be sorted, batch 1 has already been sorted and placed in part bins, Batch 2 is yet to be done which will take two to three days.
From batch 1 the following parts have already been bagged and place in customer order bins, Deck01 and 02, TT27, TT34-01-07, TT52, TT53, Pan22, Pan30, PZIIIT-19, SGIIIT-19, SD250-08 and Gent037.
Batch 2 shows all the new parts to the right of the black line. These have to be sorted and test assembled, once this is done I will be able to complete the masters for the white metal parts that make up the sets. All other parts in photo are stock parts which have to be sorted, placed in product bins and then package ready for shipping.
I see about four weeks work here, maybe more, so my plan to retire on April 1 is not going to happen. With new orders arriving almost daily I have decided to extend my retirement plan for another six months.
When placing this photo-etch order I ordered extra parts. Small parts I have plenty in stock, large parts are limited in quantity. If you need any of these parts let me know as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
I also have most white metal sets in stock ready to ship.
As new parts are test assembled I will post pictures in this forum.
Regards
Mike
