Yes. I sent out individual confirmations to most of the people on the list yesterday, the ones who have paid get shipped today. The rest will go out today, so be looking for it if you're on the list.
grabbed my kit today since Philip is local. It's amazing and so well thought out. excellent castings, perfect coloring, the chroming on the bezels is just outstanding. Cannot WAIT to start building this this weekend.
Thanks for everything Philip! SO worth the wait.

such a fun project! Thanks again Philip, it was perfectly designed as always. I may go back and paint the viewers later (or slowly hunt for mono colored ones to replace them) but for now i kinda like it being a slight variant.

Almost all the kits are shipped now.
For those wondering about all the parts, here's a bit of info on them.
Because it's hard to drill the viewer mounting holes, I've included a drill guide so you can easily and accurately do them. Glue the two pieces together. Note, there is an orientation to it when you position for drilling. Use a 1/8" drill bit. I've also sent small black spacers that you over the screw between the mounting plate and viewers. This fixes the issue that the viewer is rounded on the back.
There are 4 screws for mounting the plate positioned at the standard VESA 100mm sq middle of the plate.
I think the rest is easy to sort out.

Philip, the screw alignment guide was a GODSEND! it made it so easy and dummy proof to drill perfectly spaced holes. That little piece of plastic kept me from ruining 6 vintage viewers! lol. Thank you so much

Yeah, with all the time I had waiting on the lenses, I figured I'd throw that in. Pretty sure it's gonna help everybody.

SlaveOne has written me as his diffuser fit the inside of a lens he had from our first run was so tight he can't get it out. I'm mentioning it so it doesn't happen to anybody else. I'd carefully test fit it if you are using one, keeping in mind you can sand it down to give it room.
What is required to illuminate the lights? I recall there being a “light diffuser”, LED w rheostat/resister, and a nylon theaded tube & nut combo? Thanks
Yup, same here - really nice work and most grateful for the effort you put into this!

Trent, would you please tell me where you got your VESA 100mm? I can't seem to find a one hinger version, only doubles hinge type.
