dragos Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 If you are interested in getting an incognito, Candle tells me he would need approx 40 boards to make it cost effective. If you missed out before, or just need another, please declare interest here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subby Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I want one, hopefully the production run is far enough into the future so I can save up enough pennies for it. Then maybe I can talk about it for real instead of just hedging and saying "that's what AtariAge says" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEditor Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 In for 1 for sure, maybe 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon375 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 As I stated in the #2 thread, I am in for 2 Thanks candle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMartian Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 As well, I'd be in for two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 have in mind that you may want the board for a moment, and then change your mind 40pcs can take almost forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormbringer Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 (edited) I haven't even fully dove back into the Atari world and my current, awesome, Incognito setup but I know I would like at least 1 more board as a backup. I'd hate to see this thing be only a limited run or two, this thing is amazing! Candle, on a side note: if you sell enough of these things and there is interest for it would it be possible for a VBXE drop in board?

dragos Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Well, I like my incognito so much, I wnat to mod another 800 and have a spare. If these things ever get zapped in a storm, I'd like to know I have one in my desk so I can continue to enjoy my 800. I don't mind the wait and appreciate all the work you put into this!

candle Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 doing small batches like this (40 boards) is very time consuming when done by hand (as i do it right now) and well, boring having this done on smt pick & place machine is the way to go, but it is not economically justificable for such a small batch... unless you own the thing untill i won't buy it it will be like this - few runs - two or 3 at the most and that's it if the demand is high, perhaps Lotharek will buy commercial rights to the project, but if not, it dies sorry i like to make new things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Hopefully, there will be enough demand for one more run. I really want one -Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foster Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I am in for one. ...just did some research on this and it seems pretty amazing. Great work! You hardware gurus never cease to inspire. Hope to see a third run. ... Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Android8675 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I feel so fortunate to have gotten one of these boards. Sounds like unless someone has a "smt pick & place machine" lying around, it looks like we're gonna be moving on to the next big thing in the near future. I'd buy one if you got to like 39 of 40 pre-orders, but even if you do manage to get 40+ board requests it doesn't sound like Candle is gonna be super excited to do "another" run on his own. Maybe he can hire an intern? -A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMartian Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 I hope not... I got back into my Atari stuff at the end of the second run being available and missed out.. Maybe someone bought a board and has decided not to use it?? <hint, hint> <wish, wish> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragos Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) lets keep this to actual interests and not speculation please. I would like to have a running tally so we can see if we can get enough interest for Candle to do another run. So far it goes: Dragos: 2 The editor 1 or 2 dragon375: 2 mr martian: 2 stormbringer 1 kyle22 1 foster 1 archon800 1 so we are at 11-12 right now. If you missed out and want one, please declare interest now or we may never get another run.... Edited October 7, 2013 by dragos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ApolloBoy Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) I might be interested in one, it really hinges on whether or not I'd have the funds by the time this new run comes out. Edited October 7, 2013 by ApolloBoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foft Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 How about clubbing together to fund a pick and place machine for Candle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle22 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Those things are expensive (but NICE) http://www.ebay.com/itm/ECM-93-SMT-Pick-and-Place-assembly-machine-complete-with-feeders-fully-oporation-/281166556271?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4176d52c6f 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragos Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 for significantly less than that they could be machine assembled in china like everything from retro innovations (Jim Brain) I have to say I am surprised these are hand assembled at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Stella Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) I would like to pre-order 2 please. If you can't assemble, a kit would be fine with me. Edited October 10, 2013 by Joe Stella Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragos Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 updated list since I cant seem to edit my own posts: Dragos: 2 The editor 1 or 2 dragon375: 2 mr martian: 2 stormbringer 1 kyle22 1 foster 1 archon800 1 corkentellis 1 joe stella 2 Total so far: 15 Lets keep going! I dont want to have to buy 20 myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Stella Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 I'm certain we can meet the minimum number. I'm willing to buy a few more Dragos, if that will ensure a third run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
