I'm very happy to report that we've received the pre-orders necessary to
allow a new production run of TICCs. We're placing the order with the
contract manufacturer today, and based on past experience, we should be
able to ship the finished product to customers in about 8 weeks.
We did have to raise the price slightly because of the lower production
volume. The new price is $205 (up from $190). We're sorry about that,
but for what it's worth, our actual cost increase was a bit more than
that.
If the increased price causes a problem for anyone who's placed an
order, please contact the TAPR office ([email protected]) and John can
cancel your order.
I'd like to thank the time-nut community for their support, and
particularly those whom I suspect ordered units mainly for "inventory"
to help us get over the goal line.
John

Hi All --
I just found out that the last two TICCs from the second manufacturing
run have been sold, so TAPR is now out of stock.
We are willing to do another run, but frankly our checkbook can't handle
the up-front cost when sales velocity has slowed and we don't know how
long it might take to recoup our investment.
If we can get advance orders for 25 units, we can do an order for 50.
The price might have to go up a bit from the current $190 due to lower
volume and increased sourcing costs, but we'll try to keep the increase
as small as possible.
You can place a pre-order by clicking the "order" button at
https://tapr.org/kits_ticc.html. We won't charge your card until the
price is confirmed and the manufacturing order placed -- and if the
price changes, we'll let you know before charging you.
Once we have orders for 25 units, we'll order the production run.
Delivery will be 6 to 8 weeks after we pull the trigger.
Thanks,
John
