Once he has those cores back from the first 10, I suspect you'll see another one of these.

Remember, it's hard to buy these cores (and then get stuck with them eventually).

Can anyone tell me the shipping return address for core? The address on the website doesn't look right.

I tried to explain to you guys from the beginning of this that were waiting on getting more TBs in and this would be at least 15 business days, so please be patient here. GM was slow rolling us on orders, so as Sean suggested we ordered another dozen from a diff supplier to get around the restriction.

Supply is a weak link in the chain currently. A lot of this stuff is 'available' until it suddenly isn't. I know that from ordering many parts thus far.

That's when it starts helping having friends that can expedite you units - I think Ben found those to get the first set moving.

I talked to him yesterday and I know he's been working on them non-stop... So hard, in fact, that he won't return my email about valves *kick* today.

I think everybody that was pre-GB is caught up now from the few PMs I had from others asking about install, but he'll have to confirm that.
