Q68 Order Process

Beautiful case. I really like the new design! I wonder if a 3D printed version with maybe some branding on the top, could be created. I've used mine in a temporary plastic housing (tupperware) and haven't had any non-shielding issues.

Definitely yes! It has happened before that you ended up with no machine.

Good solution!

Hi,

Just a little update.

How about this:

Here is a photograph of the first Q68 sub batch, ready to be dispatched:

If I am hoping to send out 5 Q68, per week, assuming I can keep up with the work flow.

My apologies for the delays.

Excellent, Derek. They look great. Good luck with the construction process, looking forward to receiving mine.

Stunning, Derek! And Peter, of course. This deserves world-wide attention!
To think that this is the latest incarnation of a machine the "died" more than thirty years ago..

As it's nearly 40 years since QL was announced, I think we ought to be in the process of planning to have a "QL Is 40" international meeting. Special guest - Q68.
