Hey guys,

Last week I placed the order for the next run of Positron kits. The kits are now being manufactured, with an estimated completion date of July 31st. The kits will ship shortly thereafter.

The reason for the two week delay is because I had to make some minor modifications to the design in order to reduce manufacturing costs which had unexpectedly increased by several thousand dollars.

Fear not however… these changes won’t affect how the kit functions in any way, and for the most part they’ll be completely transparent to you.

There is one alteration that’s worth mentioning though, and that is that I’ve combined the extension, switch, and LED modules into a single more compact ‘thrower module’. This thrower module will require only two flat flex cables instead of the four you needed previously; one for the main strobe, and one for the bargraph. In addition to reducing the cost of manufacture, this will make for a cleaner and easier installation and reduce the chances of damaging the cables should you drop your thrower or catch the hose on something.

Also this time around I’ve hired someone to help with final assembly (soldering switches and LEDs, and crimping connectors), so the kits should ship within a week or so of getting them in, and you will receive them in August.

And if you haven’t pre-ordered but are looking to purchase a kit, I have good news… I’ve ordered a bunch of spares, so there’s still time to get in on this run!

Note that the purchase page will say “backorder” until I actually have the kits in stock and ready to go out the door, but that’s only to let you know they won’t ship immediately. You can place your order at this time.

And when I do run out of kits, I’ll update this page to reflect that and let you know when the next run will be manufactured.
