Glen,
Glad you piped in.  I originally sent yours via UPS on June 12.  UPS didn't like the box I used...something about nuclear waste or flammable liquids or something  ...so they sent it back to me.  That was right before I left for the Academy and vacation.  It got put in my trailer before I left and I have not unloaded it yet so it was still sitting in there when I checked last night.  I repackaged it and it is going out in today's mail.  You should have gotten tracking info from PayPal.  If not, let me know.  It should be there early next week.

Sorry for the delay and confusion.  I was really afraid that I had completely lost your order and was going to have to give you my kits.

Ok, I started to working on my 2 tonight, However up[on inspection of all the parts I noticed the zip lock bag had a hole in it and I was missing 1 of the 120 ohm resisters and 1 fuse, I search the box and found a the loose resister stuck to the tape in the box. I was not able to find the fuse. Not all end of the box were taped so I guess it go lost in shipping. guess I'll have to order one from mouser, or maybe Frys Electronics might have one.

You'll never guess where I found the fuse! After I built my first board, I started working on the second, well the last 24 pin socket would not come out so I banged the plastic tube on the table and behold the fuse popped out. Guess I should have taken all the parts out of each back/tube. I tore the box apart thinking it might be stuck to the tape.

Oh well, Thanks for all your work in putting this COOP together.

I have the material to finish the heat-sinks that I was short.  I hope to get it sheared this week and then I plan on coming in Saturday to form them.  If all that works out as I hope, I will get the last three boxes (yours included) shipped out Monday.

I forgot to say thank you. I recieved my package awhile ago and everything is working perfectly. Thanks for all of the hard work, the aethers were definitely worth the wait.

OK, this should be the last update as I got the rest of the heat-sinks made this weekend and the last 3 boxes are shipped.     Everyone should have their kits by the end of the week.  Hopefully there are no issues/shortages.  It sounds like those that have built them so far have not had problems so that is reassuring.  Hopefully the rest will go as well.  Let me know if you have issues or shortages.  I had a few miscellaneous parts left over and am assuming those were just gifts from Mouser for ordering over $14k in parts.   

I want to thank the participants for their participation and for helping the coop to run as smoothly as possible.  Any issues that arose were definitely not due to the participants.  Also, thanks for hanging in there and for bearing with me in getting everything completed and shipped since the academy, holidays, and vacation made it run longer than I had intended.  Happy lighting!!

Best regards,
-Keith

Kieth;

Got my kits today!

Just got through drilling the heat sinks for the full wave rectifiers- that was a little tricky- but I got it done.

Thanks for all the hard work and doing this Co-Op!

I have not heard from anyone in a while so I assume that all kits were delivered and we can close out this thread.  I would move it, but don't seem to be able to so if one of the mods can do that, we should be ready.

Thanks again for a good coop.  Hope everyone enjoys their lights.
