Right, that blows my theory of 250 for the first prodn run! Beginning to look like 300 then. Chris G3SJJ Geoffrey Downs wrote: K3/100 kit S/N 000266 delivered here 1333 UTC today 21 January having left Aptos 18 January. It travelled at an average speed of about 99 mph. Ordered 11 May 2007

If I understand the system correctly, the first production run still has to include everyone who ordered in that time frame, but didn't place a deposit. Even when they hit May 14th or so of deposit orders (whatever the cutoff date was), they will then go back 3 weeks start shipping all

Well my order was in just about 4 hours before the official end of 1st run orders, so I reckon that will be a reasonable pointer. I think it is being prepared at this very minute, so your figure and timing for without deposits might be close. Guess what, we will have to do all this again if

I think so. So Don's 275 plus 25 might be good. Yes, 14th May at 1800z was the originally announced cut off. Sorry for all the posts, I guess A) the excitement of my very impending K3 and B) the culmination of 3 months of watching serial numbers! Chris G3SJJ Mike B wrote: If I understand
