Jim, I'd wait. The VFD is definitely worth it. It's simply wonderful to
be able to tune your amp with a string of dots, have the wattmeter follow
it, and all with the ergonomic ease of the led bar graph.
They have been overwhelmed with demand, I'm sure, since Dayton and all the
good word of mouth going around. You can't ramp up production overnight,
unfortunately.
