Toronto blank box on sale

Tech Talk
401

F’en right !!! :lovin:

Really hope so for the people on the wait list … here is some food for thought (joe are you listening :wgrin:)

Initially, I tried squllroina method of putting in the snap ins without the mod. But I found that because of the “tight fit” (continuing 1esproc theme :wgrin:) the tabs on the snap ins look like they are about to break.

So I slightly modded the case to allow snap-ins to fit better(NOT ENDORSED by sillypuddy). I used a dremel to create 2 large and 2 very small notches for the sanwa snap-ins tabs to fit better.

Modded 6 (the six I intend to use with SF4/SC4, VF5 etc) of the 8 holes only. The 2 un-modded holes are for the screw-ins. That combined with the perfectly fitting plexi is enough to hold the plexi in place. Note, there was NO MOD to the plexi itself

Go here to see the flickr notes.

The sticks were sent out that fast???

403

Joe organized a local pickup (Toronto, Canada). The handful (~5) met up on Thurs/Fri and got theirs

According to Joe, he is sending the non-locals this week.

404

:amazed:

I didn’t even know that came out wrong

=============

anyways… I have been saying all along that with a little mod the box will work with the snap-in’s but I just don’t recommend it because it breaks the design of the box (using the screw in to hold down the panel)

but I like gns’ mod where he uses two of the buttons to hold down the panel, I think it’s a good compromise… let me “steal” that idea and incoropate it into the next design … blahahaha

-joe

410

just to verify i need to add the 2% on top the paypal invoice right?

411

I guess he does listen … :wgrin:

I think you should mod all 8 buttons and let the users choose which button holes to use as screw in and which one as snap ins.

412

hey Joe- i have a po box. does that matter much?

413

I only ship to paypal confirmed address

=========

I am sending out requests and shipping on a first pay first ship basis

I work days so I only get to process your PM / payments at night and ship the next day.

expresspost vs expedited … expresspost has tracking… expedited only has delivery confirmation… so if you want to track your package even though it’s only 2-6 days away, then go for expresspot when I give you the quote

expresspost = EMS

Even though Canada Post say expedited has delivery confirmation instead of tracking, it does track, though may not be as detailed as Xpresspost. It usually shows something like item submitted electronically, processed at some depot then the next thing you know it’s in your city and out for delivery, so it does work. I’ve also shipped couple things with expedited to US in the past and was able to track them on Canada Post to confirm delivery, works across the border as well.
