Hi @drysake. (Also, my apologies to @Yoddl for not seeing your post earlier.) Here is the latest. The powder coating shop was supposed to ship all the finished Heavy-9 units to me last week, but their QC caught some tiny color irregularities in the K2 finish parts, which appeared to be present on almost all of them. Those are being re-done early this week, so hopefully the shipment should go out to me late this coming week. My goal has always been to try to get the Heavies-9 all packed up and shipped before the end of the year if at all possible, and that remains plausible if the powder shop keeps to this latest schedule. This is also assuming the foam inserts for the packaging arrive on time. (They’re due roughly around right now, but I have a request out as of Friday for an update on the ETA, as there have been COVID-related delays and closures all over the place lately it seems, especially here in California.)
Incidentally, I spent an evening recently (while re-watching White Christmas ) signing all the product booklets, one of which will be included with each housing.
These are all stamped by hand and signed by me (with a vintage flex-nib fountain pen! )
