They are also experiencing cash flow issues, which is why you can jump the line and get a unit in days if you’re willing to pay the full retail price. Just the facts, my friend.
I totally agree. Investigate before dropping $4000. As a Kickstarter backer of a proposed project that might never have made it to fulfillment(you can also correctly argue that it still hasn’t made it to fulfillment even though it is at least a partially shipped product) and being out only $800 for a $4000 piece of equipment, I’m not in a position to be too upset. Also, there’s not another product like this available for sale anywhere.Wow... how sad...
For $800 I'd buy it on the spot. $4,000 it's beyond my (reasonable) reach.nd being out only $800 for a $4000 piece of equipment, I’m not in a position to be too upset
I was still working when I paid up but I’m retired now, so 4K is also out of my range as well.For $800 I'd buy it on the spot. $4,000 it's beyond my (reasonable) reach.
Thanks @beerking. That thread has mostly useless early posts until you get somewhere north of post #360(earlier essentially consisted of complaints made prior to the first unit actually shipping). Somewhere around post #380 it starts becoming a useful source of information.Thought this maybe of interest, The actual web site I mean, not this particular page.

They are selling them at elevated prices but have bypassed/stiffed some of the people who paid as Kickstarters.At the start of of a new year...anyone know where Smyth is at with the manufacturing of the A 16? Still Kickstarters, or on to the pre-orders?
They are most definitely not up to shipping pre-orders as of yet. About two months ago, Kickstarter backer #317 had posted that he had received his unit. Where they stand as of today regarding shipping to backers with higher or lower numbers is anyone’s guess. Also, though there are only 330 backers, the backer numbers run, I believe, into the 370’s. This is because many backers(40 something?) canceled along the way and, rather than delete those numbers, Smyth Research decided instead to keep adding numbers until they reached 330 backers.At the start of of a new year...anyone know where Smyth is at with the manufacturing of the A 16?
