Hi,
yes that's right.
Note the protopype cases cost about 1000 EUR, the other parts, equipment,
programming, tools, about 4500 EUR.
I know that a acrylic case is fast, cheap and very easy to do.
But I reall NEVER would pack a IN-18 clock in a plastic case.

I think it's a great clock stuffed full of features and would really
like one but I too think it is on the expensive side. 179 Euro (inc
tax I'm in the UK) just for the board kit + you have to buy the needed
transformer @24 Euro + the colons @19 Euro separately! Surely a
critical part (transformer) should be included in the basic kit?
Agreeing that Cobra007 is not comparing like for like the sven board
is still only 119 Euro WITH tubes or we could look at Konstantins
IN-18 board WITH tubes for 300 Euro.
I suppose Dieter has priced it to recoup his development costs
although the case is overpriced imho and I would not buy it, and as
for "the surface finish was developed exclusively for those clocks - I
can only imagine that this took quite some time to work out. " I think
you/we are getting carried away with the advertising spin after all
there is only so many finishes you can achieve and I'm sure this has
been done before somewhere. I don't mind being contradicted on the
finish but I would like to know what this "exclusive" finish is then
Nice clock, shame about the price, shame about the confusing multisite
ordering, it's impossible to even make up a barebones kit without
multiple ordering, something to consider.
