Laner Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 When will the HOKEYs be available separately? I have one of the earlier Concertos, but no POKEY/HOKEY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redbeard25 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Hey @batari, I bought a concerto on 10/4 before the HOKEYs were available, but I never got an email to buy one after purchase. Could you send me a link? The last four of my order number is 7550. Edited December 8, 2022 by Redbeard25 linked username Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lolo Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 Hi, I'd ordered 1 concerto + pokey on 3rd/12 but no news, how to get tracking? Order #1414633983 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necromancyr Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 There a way to still get a hokey? Was waiting and didn't check back in for awhile after getting a Concerto in July (order #1426206537) and never got an e-mail about them being available...really would like to get one.

+batari Posted December 23, 2022 Author Share Posted December 23, 2022 I apologize for the delay getting HOKEY available for existing Concerto owners to buy. It's been ready to go for some time and is currently available with new Concertos. I haven't sent out any emails yet for existing owners, but am working on that. These emails will go out in batches, with the first of them in a few days, and the rest the following weeks after that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased my Concerto from @Muddyfunster so can I be included in the Hokey sale? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted December 30, 2022 Author Share Posted December 30, 2022 Tomorrow I will be sending an email to the Concerto reservation holders so you can purchase a Basic HOKEY. Spoiler The reservation system was a temporary measure I used that allowed you to pre-pay the first $10 of your Concerto and be placed on a waiting list. You would submit your email, then you would be emailed in order when your Concerto was available. The email will give you a link to make the purchase. Keep an eye on your spam folders in case the email does not get through to your inbox. I want every reservation holder who wants a HOKEY to have the first chance to get one. After the orders from reservation holders are all sent out, I will then be sending emails to the rest of Concerto owners (it may be a few weeks for this.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if you'd offer a way to get a replacement shell, too? I think I snapped the clips on mine, ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted December 31, 2022 Author Share Posted December 31, 2022 I sent the email out to reservation holders, so I am sure it will be in people's inboxes in a few minutes. If you think you should be on the list and don't see it, please check spam folders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingonwheels Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Why is the shipping so expensive? Hokey chip is $15 which is a great price, but the shipping is also $15 (I'm located in the USA). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I HATE shipping costs, usually I can ship things for much less than I feel like things are shipped to me, but in this case, it really seems like we should be thankful to get them at all? (I didn't need one myself, I poached a real Pokey from a non working 5200, lol, a few days after I got my Concerto, works fine...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I have one piece in my cart too. $5 for shipping is what I expected. Must be a bug or something on my end. Unless...Where are these being shipped from? Outside the United States?

Greg2600 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 No email for me. As I recall, I was on the reservation list in 2020 for the Concerto but the email never came through. Somehow I was able to buy one though. I thought there was another list just for Hokey interested parties?

It must be defaulting to international shipping which is $15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sold some Concertos in small batches at first as a first-come, first-served basis, so you will be in the second batch in a few weeks. These Concertos were sold before I introduced the paid ($10) reservation system. I had promised these reservation holders the first crack at HOKEYs as a benefit for pre-paying that $10 toward a Concerto. So it will be soon for the rest of Concerto owners. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure why it is defaulting to $15 as this is only for international orders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teuton17 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Hey Batari, Great job on the Concerto, always works well for me. I bought 2 ages ago from one of the first batches. I have never received an email to get my Hokey chips, and I check my junk folder many times a day. What should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted January 5, 2023 Author Share Posted January 5, 2023 HOKEYs will start shipping by the end of the day today. Should be a few days before I can get all of the orders out, though. Once they are out the door then the emails for the remaining Concerto owners will start going out. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
necromancyr Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Great! Will the emails come from the same address as order confirmations? Just want to make sure I'm watching for the same thing. (And assuming I wasn't supposed to be on the original list! :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+batari Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 Emails are coming soon. I need to get the current orders out first and I am almost done with that. On another note - I am reducing the price of a Concerto with a soldered-in HOKEY. Now, a Concerto with a soldered-in Basic HOKEY is the same price as the Concerto with an empty socket! Of course the socket gives you the flexibility to replace the sound chip whenever you want, but it is less time-consuming and less expensive to produce a Concerto with the HOKEY chip soldered directly to the board. Those who don't need that flexibility can now save some money, as I pass that savings to you. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasan Coskun Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 (edited) Is the Concerto still available to order/purchase? I just saw this mentioned in the latest ZeroPage Homebrew video.

How am I supposed to select between the empty socket and the soldered-in basic HOKEY version of the Concerto on the order page? Am I missing something here?
