And the brake parts have just arrived. I think they must be working on Greenland time.

The keyboard pads have been replaced.

The keyboard is better to type upon but there's still not a lot of travel and the foam is still reasonably stiff. Still, all the keys work and it is better than with my pads.

Nice to know that the TexElec pads work well, but at least you have a method for making your own too.

Indeed, but my ones are sub-optimal.

Well, the SAAB shock absorber cartridges are out for delivery, and the RS Components delivery should also be today.

Ahh well, at least you tried :)

Sounds like you've got some busy days ahead.

With the arrival of those two deliveries it's just the adjustable voltage regulator and the PCBs in transit.

The ZuluSCSI from eBay still hasn't been dispatched so yesterday I noted with eBay about this and the vendor came back... It turns out that it's AmigaKit again. And the exact same old excuse for non-delivery as the last time (that time directly from the web site), "Unexpectedly the units were faulty and the replacements are stuck in customs." Yeah, right. Well, don't have "4 out of 9 sold" and delivery within 2 days if you don't really have the stock.

Really? What a pain in the backside, really ticks me off when folks do that and Amigakit were usually good.

I've replied:
In which case could I please cancel my order.

The listing explicitly started that there had been nine available and four sold already. If they had not been previously tested and verified working then they should not have been listed as in stock and available and te listing withdrawn.
He needs to get the message. Unfortunately he's the only licensed seller of ZuluSCSI in the UK.
