...if there were some pre-ordering site that I could put my credit-card where my mouth (and 3 other mouths) is, I'd be pre-ordering at least 2 personally.

If the mother company is apathetic, I am sure there is still some infrastructure left in Cambridge to handle this.

Don't take the response level from this BBS at face value -- two owners at work have had their units for almost a year and they both want tuners but both have NEVER BEEN TO THIS BBS.

Anyway, if you make the site, they will come.

There still seem to be people out there that are only just realising there are no tuners available, so I am sending the poll to the top of the list again.

By my sums we are up to at least 170 tuners wanted now.

Sorry, you can't edit a poll once it has been created.

I went back to the eStore, found the tuner again, and tried to order more. I got an email from a human saying they really are gone =(

Hmm well thats my vote anyway. Not sure I need 2 tuners for
2 units.

Up to 182+ now...

Just the fact that they are up to $250+ on ebay should tell you there is a huge demand for tuners. Not to mention the 200 tuners people on this board said they would buy, and how ever many tuners people who are too lazy to register would buy. (Heck, I went for weeks wanting to submit my vote, but not wanting to register. I'm sure there are others)

Well, looks like we have made it to 200 now.

Looks like some new owners haven't spotted the poll yet.

We are up to 225 now (I and I have decided that when tuners become available I will be buying at least 3, rather than the 1 that I voted for).

I would like to buy TWO. I have TWO players and wont pay over 160 on ebay (most go for 300). WHERE IS THE PRE-ORDER SHEET????? Sign me up for two!!!!! I want two tuners. I'll even pay upfront if they will quote me a price and ship date...

Add one to the list

Put one more down on the list, I was going to just use my old Alpine Head unit but I don't have a Double-DIN dash, so it would be easier to sell it and get a tuner.

Where is the poll ?
How can I vote ?

You posted your question within the poll thread itself. Just go back to the first message in the thread and the poll is there.

I would be delighted to put cash down before I get a tuner.

cheers

Ok, back to the top again, as there seem to still be people who have missed the poll.

It seems that you can't change your vote.. If I could, I'd change my original vote from 1 to the 3+ choice (6 actually).

It seems that you can't change your vote

Yes it's a pain. I'm tempted to setup a page for people to vote on properly.

Damn, I'll take two, one for use and a backup. We need to get these built.....my sig says it all.....

when I first posted I only owned one empeg now I have three and need three tuners two more than I put on poll.

I also happen to know my cousin, MK2 owner but non BBSer would buy at least another one, if not two.

My brother, also a non BBSer would buy at least one.

I think that if a manufacturer were to make a run of 1000 of these, they would sell them all in a matter of days. I mean really, they go for $3-400 on ebay, I would think selling them at/around $100 is not going to be a major problem....

Just remember that a lower quantity will result in a higher price. Currently there are only about 300-350 requests for tuners. 1000 is a far way from that.

From what the empeg/sonicblue guys have said, the tuners will cost more than the original cost which I think was US$79 or US$99. The way they were talking was around US$150 I'm guessing. And that was for a 1000 quantity. I'd probably budget around US$200 to be safe. It's still better than US$300-400 being extorted on ebay .

I am currently investigating the possibility of an external group buy of either completed or kit form tuners.

The real killer on the price will the price of the tuner module I believe.

*bumb*

The only reason I said NO is because I already have one.

Just put in a radio module that can scan the police freqs. as well....

Ahh.. now there is an idea. I already have a tuner, but if there was one with expanded frequencies to play with, then I would upgrade.

I'd definitely be in for 1.

I would buy a tuner as well.

I would buy two tuners, only if its price doesn't go over $100. It's still a high price in my opinion...
