nope, had an email exchange before Christmas, re: cancelled another order so transferred that deposit to the adg account, so I am about 80% paid I think.
But I had asked Joshua whether early payment matters to him and he said no, they were jus, II think more focussed on the getting the backlog of previous orders out the door.

I’ll be surprised if anyone gets one of these before March. Haven’t we learned anything about Stam yet? Great gear but he’s always way too optimistic about timelines. I’m guessing they haven’t even built the prototype yet. I don’t worry about it. It will get here when it gets here and in my mind i’m expecting Summer or Fall of 2019.

There were pictures of the prototype some time back Wiz

Me too, but, if I don’t get mine this month, I’m out.
I hope that 2019 logistics are much improved, but when I read on fb peeps already taking delivery of other gear, they ordered months after our adg orders, it gives me pause.
here’s hoping !

He seems to have had pictures of what some other gear will look like before building a functional prototype before. Maybe he has built a functioning prototype, I dunno.
I’m not trying to be pessimistic just trying to be realistic. I think people keep setting themselves up for disappointment by listening to what Stam tells them about timelines. Don’t do that. History has shown us that the gear will always arrive months later than we are told. I don’t think Josh is trying to lie to us, I just think he always projects delivery dates based on if the hundreds of variables all go perfect. And they never do. Just relax and eventually, some day, we will get our gear.

Stam builds gear in batches. The ADG batch isn't ready yet. I'm sure if you ordered one of his in stock products TODAY - you may still receive it before the ADG. Not sure why this would give you pause - it's really not that difficult a concept. If you are super time crunched or absolutely HAVE TO HAVE the gear right away - then preordering in this kind of system was an unwise decision to start with - regardless of delays. I'm sure no sleep will be lost by anyone should you decide to cancel your order. It's super great gear and definitely worth the wait if you don't have the $$$ for the vintage units. At the end of the day - it's not that serious - why must we all go around and round in circles talking about the same thing? I'm in the first 100 here - have all the time in the world - and couldn't be more excited.

Especially after waiting a year, and especially with all the other great options out there. Especially as kcatthedog has been extremely patient. I hope yours comes this month kcatthedog!!

000 I don't know what planet you are on but to date I think we have been promised about 50 different production dates and none of them being the actual date we signed on for. I don't care how he actually produces things, what I care about is that his comments and commitments mean something and he sticks by them. I also think he should produce by order date and that people who order something months after someone else should not get their gear first. You are welcome to buy into with ever laissez-faire service model you are comfortable with but I think delivering things 6-12 months late is just not acceptable. Maybe in start up year but not after what 5-10 years plus in business ? I believe that Joshua has made some significant changes to his business , I applaud that and continue to give him the benefit of a doubt. I have been told my 2 adg's will ship this month so I look forward to that. I think what we say, should mean, what we say; call me old fashioned.

I'm considering picking up a second ADG to go with the one I already ordered a while back so that I have a matched pair. The only reason I'm considering it is because of the 25% discount Joshua offered me by email for all of the delays so far.
I have some questions for Joshua though.
1. Given that Stam is prone to continuous tinkering with the design, I don't want to order a second unit and have it be different than the first unit. Even if I preorder one today, it will still likely be from a different batch and be a while before I receive the second unit. What can be done to ensure that the second unit will be identical to the first unit?
2. What price will my 25% discount be based on if I preorder before they are available? The preorder price used to be $599, but now I see that it is $699.
3. When will the option for the preorder price end? On the day that they are officially in stock?
4. What price will my 25% discount be based on if I order after they are in stock? The stock price used to be $699, but now I see that it is $799.

I emailed Stam about maybe getting an update in the update thread.

He has been on holiday but I thought they got back to work this week. Quint, you concerns are exactly why I bit the bullet at the beginning and ordered two ADG units.
