Steve,
Your on the 'At Cost upgrade list" as your an existing L2 Toy/Fusion owner - you will only need to send funds at stage 4, the final stage = “Production unit cost” £150 ~ £200 + optional Vishay Z-foil resistors + shipping etc

Hey John,
How can I pay upfront for the salvaged unit now? Lakewestaudio.com only shows an option for first installment.

OK, I'll send first payment now and keep an eye on the site daily.
I honestly wouldn't mind a few marks on my unit, never been one for keeping things pristine if that helps.

May I ask my question again: do the new arrangements mean that if we want a fully-fusioned MDAC2 then we will need to buy more new resistors?

First installment sent
Thank you - you are one of the first 7
we will send out confirmation emails once we enter all the details into the MDAC2 database

I answered Phil awhile back who also asked the same question:-
http://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/showpost.php?p=2102704&postcount=455
"As part of the MDAC2 development path I plan to build a prototype of an idea I have for a unique analogue stage, if this idea proves successful then only 4 Bulk foil "Fusion" resistors will be for the "Direct" analogue path - with options to use bulk foils in the more critical "secondary" circuit positions for the "Flagship" spec'ed version.
At any rate, the some of the current resistor values are unlikely to be used for the MDAC2 PCB... "

Hi John, I've got an mdac with you awaiting upgrade and toy status. If I would like a fusioned mdac2 and am capable of switching the boards myself, should I pay you the cost upgrade fee when the time comes plus the fusion resistor kit cost and post you the old board back so that you can make use of the parts?

Yes, that's the idea - like Steve you will only need to send funds at stage 4, the final stage = Production unit cost £150 ~ £200 + optional Vishay Z-foil resistors + shipping etc.
At the moment we are not asking for the return of the original MDAC board unless we are forced to salvage parts if we are way over our cost budget for some unexpected reasons.

John...
I've edited my entry on the "at cost" section, to say I'd like a refurbished case, probably silver, but the family vote is split, so can I change my mind later? I'll go for full spec, and would really be a happy man if I got an analogue input for my turntable too (with some form of gain control). Coffee making facilities too, but not essential...
Am I right to say I need to send development money at stage 4, but I'll need to find some money for my refurbished donor machine soon, but unknown exact cost at the moment?
Have I got it?

IIRC that was what prompted my original question.
So that's a 'yes' then...
Do you know how many new ones will be required for the full fusion, or is it too soon??
