AND! Can you even begin to imagine the amount of "Bitching" that would take place if this Amp is besieged with poor quality control after delivery!!!!!!!!!?  
HONESTLY! These are the times that I wish Elecraft was like the BIG 3!
Just my $0.02 worth.((((73)))) Milverton / W9MMS.

 I'm glad that you're amused, Mike. It's less funny to those of us who
"loaned" Elecraft $6k at the end of August, based on projection of
delivery in October (i.e. 5-8 weeks). Here we are, 7 *months* later,
and it still doesn't even seem imminent. $6k is a "chunk of change"
(at least to most). They may not be Apple, but that argument is
getting milked a bit, IMO - it's not like 2 guys operating out of a
garage anymore either. There's a lot of history of unmet projections
on new product delivery, but the high-value prepayment aspect of this
one makes it more difficult to be patient with....
