[ARC5] 4-Pin to 7/9-Pin Adapter Update

[Ben Hall]

Good morning all,

On Saturday, I picked up the machined brass pins from the post office. 
They are very nice but will require I do a little deburring before they 
are ready.  This was my error, my drawing to the machine shop lacked a 
"break sharp edges" or other call out like that which would have 
required a deburring operation.

This morning, I received an e-mail from UPS noting that the PC boards 
for the adapters will be delivered tomorrow.  This is about two weeks 
earlier than I had planned, due to fortunate timing at the board house. 
  (I submitted my run just as a set of panels were going out to fab.)

Being that I'm a little ahead of schedule, I do have a good stock of 
7-pin tube sockets, but do not have a good stock of 9-pin sockets yet.  :(

I am going to lay in a source of 9-pin sockets this week and should have 
an announcement of them going on sale either next weekend or the weekend 
following.

thanks much and 73,
