Some New Infos for the OKTAKKONTROL

Some New Infos for the OKTAKKONTROL

Currently we are finalizing and shipping one after another – as we do a lot of handwork on it, this takes some time. This is our first product we are selling and it is a bit stressful this time but also very exciting and great to learn while doing this.  🙂

The wooden side panels on the OKTAKONTROL looking great and makes it very special, but they are definitly to inaccurate and time-consuming to handle and process all the orders just in time for us. Too much of the panels are unfortunately crap.  😕

A Change
So we decided to go full metal case in future now.

Maybe there will be a special edition with wooden panels in future again, but for now we don’t want to continue with wood anymore.

Regarding the price
In relation to the work we have, it is not really economic/profitable yet – but one of our choosen challenges is, to keep the price approximately in this range and nevertheless be economic but the metal is much more expensive for a small series like that and thats the reason we needed to lift the price a little bit to 230,00€ excl. Tax.

It will be possible to order again in few days, if we received the new metal panels.
We try to finish the open orders with the wooden panels also within the next days.

The Manual
We put a Quickstart manual into each order till now.
The complete manual will be online to download within the next days. Please be patient guys. We are only two guys and we wish we had 8 arms like the OKTA and 48h a day to work for you.

Finally we’ve got it. Our metal manufacturer was finished in the end of last week and we’re jumped as fast as we could to our print shop. We will get the final printed front and side panels tomorrow. They only need to dry now. And if all fits together, we can finally ship the finished OKTAKONTROL on wednesday this week 🙂
