6582 SID MEGA-SALE #5 **CLOSED**


Recommended Posts

Posted

Madox: all good, just me being slow. Only one CPU being heavily multitasked.

All: I found one SID with a dead oscillator! Hooray! This means I'm not wasting my time with testing them first. I had a good run... not one broken SID in the previous thousand tested. The QuadZIF is working beautifully... I can load and unload SIDs with two hands and test/pack SIDs four tubes at a time (52 SIDs). Now all I need to do is speed up the cutting of chip tubes...

Time to reset the "487 days without accidents broken sids" counter then... BTW, this could solve your tube-cutting issues:

6 days Australia to Europe! Man, that is fast!

Even better compared to the last sale, where every parcel to Germany was held for weeks.

It's good to hear you Germans aren't suffering with customs delays anymore.

International customs have probably got to the point where they don't even check the packages coming from your address. Can't be that exciting opening all those envelopes to find just a few chips, unless your a midiboxer that is.

dunno about that. I suspect my country is notorious for checking international packages, considering that I happen to live within the evil empire of the western hemisphere. :P

had to pay 10 euro's for customs though

Sorry about that, I have to declare a reasonable amount (like half the value) when I use postal insurance for the big orders (10+ SIDs).

Apparently I got mine yesterday, but "someone" forgot to mention it...  :-X Anyway, thanks Wilba, looking forward to the 6582 PCB  ;)

??? still no sign. was there anybody on the list that was in the US?  ???

maybe I'm just starting to get impatient?

Your SIDs will arrive. They might be a bit later than the others on the message board. I had bought some in a previous sale and mine were roughly 1.5 weeks after most others on the forum. The US just takes a bit longer.  ;D

I'm in the US and mine arrived yesterday.  International mail to the US used to be much faster, but protecting America takes time and (lots of taxpayers') money.  I had a package containing three single INWO trading cards shipped from Australia shipped off to me in January and it took almost a month for that to arrive.  You're in America - so be patient and trust your government - EVERYTHING IS UNDER CONTROL (of a multinational elite corporatocracy).

Anyway, thanks Wilba!  Someday I will even put them to use :-)
