No worries bud. I have thyroid cancer and I've had it all removed. Only thing left is to take a couple radioactive iodine pills and I should be done. It's been a tough road since about August, but I should be done this all by Christmas. I had my thyroid, my left tonsil, and 21 lymph nodes removed from the left side of my neck. Pretty extensive surgery, but I should recover 100%. Thanks much! I'll be heading back out to the shows soon. My goal is an end of year moe.run. 

Sorry to hear of this Myco and I'm also glad you're staying positive through this.  Cancer's a b!tch and I can fully relate to how badly it sucks as my other half has been dealing with breast cancer (in her mid-30's) and has just finished chemo with surgery and radiation "to look forward to" starting in January.  It's definitely put a huge kink into our concert plans (nevermind life in general) as we pretty much nixed all summer festival shows this year because we weren't feeling it.

And Todd R, that was some pretty clever stuff.   I think most of my gear has remained packed up this summer/fall (since April, I've been to four shows and have recorded all four -- normally that would've been somewhere between 40 and 60 shows in the past six or seven months.

[it-goes-to-eleven]

So Jon's product is $100/pair.

And followingbob's is $450?

I read it as Jon/Nainat as being closer to 220 a pair..so you must have read that wrong.  Don't be hate'n

From Jon's Post...

Couplings, pair: $108
PFA, 3' lead, pair: $100
extra cable, per foot (each PFA): $2
A stock tinybox with 3' adaptor cable would be $288

Looks like $108 a pair (before PFA and Tiny Box)

Do the couplings include the cables?  Do you have to get the pfa to get the cables to the couplings?

6 1/2 hours to sell 12 or 6 sets?

Looks like there is a demand for this...hope someone picks up the ball and keeps it going....

I think cables are the easiest (and most boring) part of the product. They are a commodity, ordered by the roll or foot.

6 sets, 12 pieces.
