>The lists counts the people willing to buy tuners, but what about tuner KITS ?

I'm not sure it's important -- the main point of that page was to try and get enough people to do a proper manufacturing run. I'm under the impression that there is no need to have a certain quantity of buyers to justify producing kits.

Therefore, if kits actually do become available, I expect things to go something like this after the kits are designed and tested:

1) A real kit order form is put up that collects billing details.

2) I email everyone that signed up at http://www.eden2.com/empeg and point them to the order page.

3) If they want to order a kit as opposed to a built tuner, great, if not, that's fine too.

4) After a period of time (maybe a week, or whenever orders stop coming in), the kit order form is closed, and the exact number of kits bought are made and shipped.
