lol... it's no April Fool's joke, 36 of the first batch of 50 sammichFM kits were shipped on the 1st April.

Stay tuned for an official announcement of sammichFM.

One kit delivered safe and sound to me in London, that was quick!

My kit arrived this morning as well. 6 Days to literally travel to the other side of the world. Impressive work, and a very impressive kit. Can't wait to get into it!

Sheesh... and I still haven't finished the build guide. Sorry. The almost-finished version is available on request, it's just missing the voltage testing diagram/photo thingo a la sammichSID build guide.

Tut Tut Wilba, what with the promises it'll be ready before the kits arrived. ;)

Guess you underestimated the efficacy of your Antipodean postal services!

For what it's worth, you can take your time, i'm in no rush given that I didn't expect it so soon anyway!

Just got mines. Looks great. Nils sure had fun designing the base pcb! Probably the most artistically designed pcb i've seen. Way to go boys!

Oh and the smd is easy with the sticky flux provided with the kit. Excellent call there. It is a must.

No, I underestimated how much time it would take, and overestimated how much time I had. I expected to finish it by the 6th April.

It's finished now, but I will add some photos of painting the engraving and probably discuss power supply options in more depth. I got a bit lazy with this one and haven't actually measured current load :whistle: OPL3 is so much lower than two SIDs that it wasn't as important, except when you need to tell other people what kind of plugpack to get.

This looks like a conspiracy to me! :frantics:

How did you sell 50 kits without announcing it here?

I only saw some pics of prototypes in the gallery, and some vague comments about it.

Where else could i have looked?

Ask really nicely and Wilba might come up with one for you. I suspect he may have an extra or two stashed away. ;)

People in the OPL3 chipset bulk order were offered kits, and then a few people asked me directly to get on the list.

It is now officially announced:
