Display Kit Changes Going Forward
Posted on 03/01/2024We have been selling the UNO & TRADITIONAL Bally LED Display Kits since 2017 and we're happy to say we've received a ton of positive feedback in the 6+ years they've been available! In fact, these kits are very well-loved it seems, and that's a great thing to hear since a lot of time and dedication to "getting it right" was done during the development process. That said, we'll be making some changes to how they're offered. The first change is that display foam surrounds will no longer be included with the kits. We do realize that's a bit of a bummer, but due to the low sales volume on these products we don't see ordering more foam in at this time (it's bulky and our last order was pre-Pandemic, and we suspect the shipping costs alone these days are quite high). The second change however, is good news -- we've reduced the pricing of the DIY Kits by about $15 or so on most variations to account for the inconvenience & instructions have been updated on how to "roll your own" DIY light blocks that will be more cost-effective if buying multiple kits. That's it for now!
5101 NVRAM Stock
Posted on 09/13/2023Small amount of a new pcb design 5101 NVRAM are now in-stock. The new design is just a slightly larger pcb that is easier for us on the assembly side of things. Since pricing is very much tied to assembly time nowadays, we are able to offer the new design at a bit lower price compared to the compact design we had been offering. It should also allow us to have better availability on this product going forward. If there is still demand for the compact design, we will continue to produce it in small batches from time-to-time. If you're interested in the compact version of the 5101 please let us know. Once we hear from enough customers we'll assemble another small batch.
New Shopping Cart
Posted on 07/18/2023A new shopping cart was added to the website, so you'll see some changes to how the checkout works. When you add an item to your shopping cart, a cart icon will appear mid-page and show the number of items in the cart. You are free to navigate the website and add other items. Clicking on the cart icon at any time will show the cart and allow you to checkout when ready. Checkout / Payment is still through Paypal and there is still an option to quickly checkout with Paypal Express.
PSA - Not All NVRAM Is The Same Quality
Posted on 02/21/2022After seeing some reports of people having issues with other nvram products, we wanted to post a PSA about the quality of some of these "new products" that are coming onto the market. Not all NVRAM modules being sold are offering the same quality and reliability. See this article for details.
