Got an update from the manufacturer.
The Workshop
Disappointment
I hadn’t heard from the factory for a bit so I asked if they were still expecting to ship the machine by the end of the month. I mean that’s in three days and I need to go to the bank to wire the final payment. They came back saying they needed an additional 10 – 15 days. Seriously?
I mean it’s been 5 weeks since I ordered and wired the down payment for the machine and it looks like they have only got about 2 weeks of work done! Pretty frustrated.

Machine Ordered
I ordered an M44-3 rope machine today. The unit is $5000.00 and the shipping is $5610.00. The machine should be completed within 30 days however they simply said it would ship by the end of October. So I should have it around December 1st.
