True that it's almost here, but there have been many many delays as I battled through all of the materials logistics and manufacturing hurtles.  I plan to wait to offer a pre-release until I have at least 10 units in stock that I feel are "production quality."  The electronics aspect has been complete for some time now.  I've recently been working on getting repeatable quality faceplates made.  Up until just recently I was attempting to manufacture them in-house.  After wasting 200 faceplates through countless mistakes and trudging through the long hours on a manually operated drilling/milling machine, I decided to look less costly and laborious options.  I spent many hours improving the accuracy of DIY drilling/milling machine and finally got it dialed in.  I also spent many hours making various jigs for metal bending (the mounting base plate) and for alignment of parts on different machines.  It was a crazy amount of work just getting the machines set up for the most precision possible.  After all my effort I realized the level of tolerance I need for the metal working needs to be less than +/- 0.00025".  I found that's simply impossible to achieve with my equipment.  That alone means I should consider outsourcing, but I was concerned the cost would be too high.  The bottom line is that I got a couple quotes (2 different manufacturing methods) from domestic companies.  Both quotes would cost me less than my cost for just the metal...  and they would be providing the metal!  I simply can't compete and won't even try to.  That will free up a significant amount of my finely spread time and ultimately it will lower the cost of the Super Storm substantially.  I'm currently waiting on the first test batch from a company who laser cuts the face plates out, along with all the necessary holes, from 4'x8' sheets of aluminum.  After I am able to confirm quality fit and finish with repeatability, I'll move forward on getting the bottom support plate made by a 3rd party.  That particular part requires a 90° bend, which I was having a terrible time trying to align perfectly.  After that's resolved the product is manufacturable on a larger scale than anything I made before.  That'll be the point at which I can confidently offer a pre-order with a short waiting time for customers.  Please standby as I work out these last couple issues.   

My webstore is back up and fully stocked on LBA goodies.  I'll be adding a few more items over the next couple weeks.  One thing I'm working on is creating 3D renderings of my transformers for integration into the PCB design software, KiCad.  When folks buy my transformers in the future, they'll be able to download the KiCad footprints, schematic symbols, and 3D files for those transformers - free from this website. 

The Super Storm is nearly ready for pre-release.  Stay in tune.
