This Coop is for the Transformer only Mfr. P/N: 020-5370-0 that is used in both the Lynx Splitter and the Lynx SSR4 with DMX option. As members know this transformer is at its End of Life and is no longer being carried by Mouser and are only available from a few companies that have left over stock.
One such company is TTI. Inc found by our member mmciver
Please be advised that these transformers are only usable on the current boards that are available. So if you have stock of some boards these will work for you. RJ is making changes to the current version of these boards and these transformers will not be used in the updated versions.
We must act fast due to the limited number of transformers on-hand 320 as of this posting. This Coop will close on Jan 12th 2011 at 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time. I may have to close the coop earlier as I will keep an eye on the vendors stock and our counts. I will update members if and when this has to happen. Also if when the order is placed and there are not enough transformers in stock, I will have to go by a first come first basis. The money will be refunded to those who will not receive their order. Once the Coop is closed I will send each member a PM with the details of their order and what payment is due. Full payment is expected when the coop is closed since orders cannot be made until all members have paid. Please get your PayPal payments in as soon as you get the Coop invoice PM. Please insure your PayPal address info is up to date.
Pricing includes PayPal 3% and Coop 3% fees. As always higher numbers reduce pricing and lower numbers increase pricing. Change your order as you wish during the ordering portion of the Coop, but please make sure to tell me you or adding or subtracting from your original order. Please check the order list that follows to make sure I don't miss your order or any changes as the Coop continues and at the end of ordering.
This is the initial quote that I got from TTI it does not include shipping which I will get once I know the total amount of transformers needed.
Qty:
40 pc cost =$ 4.65 ea.
80 pc cost =$ 4.06 ea.
120 pc cost =$ 3.60 ea.
240 pc cost =$ 3.25 ea.
320 pc cost =$ 2.96 ea.
The rep also informed me that we need a minimum order of 40 transformers to make this coop happen or we will have to cancel it and that we would also have to order in lots of 40. Meaning 40,80,120,160.
To be fair to all members we are limiting the amount of transformers to 10 per member at the start of the coop to ensure that those who need them get them. I will then open up the coop limit if needed to be able to make each 40 lot order.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: Just a heads up we will have to close the coop early (maybe even today) as the stock is at 280 (verified 10AM PST via rep) right now and they sell in blocks of 40. I don't want members to lose out on this. We are currently at 190 transformers. We will cap the coop at 200 do to information that I received from the rep via phone
Shipping will be in regular USPS flat rate boxes, at the rate to your location. Transformers will fit in a small box ($5.20 in the US).
By joining this Coop you also agree that the Coop manager, DLA (as a board to also include all administrators, moderators, and members) shall not be held for any liability. You are joining this Coop at your own risk.
As with any Coop this Coop is subject to the forum rules. These rules can be reviewed using the following link.
Forum Coop rules
http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=111.0 (http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=111.0)
If you wish for insurance on the package you will need to check for the rate at USPS.com and add this to your PayPal payment. Then you must include in the PayPal comments that you want $xxx value insurance on the package. We cannot be responsible for lost or damaged uninsured packages once dropped off to USPS and we have a confirmation showing that they accepted and shipped it.
Post in this thread the number you want. You will get a pm when the coop closes telling what to do to pay for your coop items.

Just a heads up I think we might have to close the coop early (maybe even today) as the stock is at 280 right now and they sell in blocks of 40. I will check the continue to check the status on this during the day as I don't want everyone to miss out on this. We are currently at 150 units. I will also keep an eye out if the coop stalls a bit as an indication of everyone has what they need
If everyone could double check your counts to make sure I have listed what you want as I need to stay on top of this.
-
If it is still open/available I'm in for 10
-
If it is still open/available I'm in for 10
Yes your OK I'll add you to the list
OK here it is gang the crossroads we stop at 160 units which we have right now or we get to 200 units which will be the cap do to information that I have from the rep. If you place an order after this post your order might not get placed since we are at 160 now. Any orders after 160 means we have to get to 200 in order to meet the next 40 lot buy.
-
Glad I saw this before it's (hopefully) too late... I need 4 if possible.
--Jon
-
I would like 5 if possible
-
OK If any of the members that are at the 10 pcs coop limit need more than ten please post and I will put you in the lower section on the open slots. Please be aware that if another member that is not currently participating in the coop comes in you may have to give up your slot in the lower section. Will do as a first come first serve basis. Just trying to be fair while trying to help the lower group get the the 40 they need. Hopefully everyone understands where I'm coming from.
-
I would like 6 please.
-Mike
-
Since this is very time sensitive it might be worth PM'ing the users who ordered 10 to see if they want to up their order. Not sure they will check this thread otherwise.
-Mike
-
Rod - If it would help - I'll do another 10.
Bill A.
-
Put me down for 5.
RM
-
If you can please add 4 to my order
-
OK six (6) slots left hopefully a new member meaning someone not already participating will pick these up. I would really hope to see everyone that needs them gets a chance to pick them up.
Everyone check your counts to make sure I didn't make a boo boo
-
put me down for 10
thank you for running this

Did you mean ten total or ten more? You are currently at 5 now.
-
10 for me!!
-
OK Coop Is Now Closed. Please check your PM’s for payment instructions in the next hour or two and make your payment via paypal ASAP. I just contacted the rep and she agreed to place a hold on 200 transformers till Monday I gave her my information. Meaning that if everyone comes thru with their payments the order will be placed on Monday morning. Sorry to rush everyone just want to be sure we don’t lose out. They actually had another order pending but there was no hold on the parts and no customer confirmation.
If some else still them after I place the order and there are any left I can see if it’s worth going at it again.
-
Doesn't look like gforman ordered any previously. Are you mixing him up with gzformula?

OK Glen you good to go with 10 thanks to ozmin
-
Waiting for one response. Meanwhile working on totals will get them to you shortly, Thanks guys.
-
PM's going out please pay once your receive your total so order will be processed on Monday Morning. Thanks again guys
-
All PM have been sent let me know if you did not get one and I'll see what happened. Also I see that members are already submitting their payments so Making the Monday morning order is "So Far So Good".
Thanks for staying on top of this and I'll update the list and keep you guys informed once I place the order.
-
Is there a standby list?
-
Is there a standby list?
I'll keep you in mind just in case someone doesn't pay on time.
You might want to post something in the SSR4 and splitter forum maybe a poll or something about who else might be interested in the transformers. You have to order in lots of 40. Looks like a possible balance of 80 pcs. But the rep told me that those could be accounted for. I had to grab the the 200 and hold them because of a pending order. But after this order is placed and there are transformers left and enough members needing them. If RJ clears it again I'd be happy to do it. But I don't want to talk about that on this coop.
-
Does anyone know where to go on usps.com to look up insurance rates?
I always have went to https://www.usps.com/prices/insurance-prices.htm
-
http://postcalc.usps.gov/
-
Put me in for 10
Ah crude, I see I missed the close by a few hours. Dang.
-
I would like to be put on standby list for 10 if possible.
Thanks
Tom
-
I had to issue a few refunds, Due to no user name listed in the comments or anywhere else. Without that I have no way of knowing who you are. Please resubmit with that info and what the payment is for as per PM.
Thanks,
Rod
-
Welcome to being a coop manager! ;)
RJ
-
I would like to be on the standby list for 5 if there is one. Thanks for doing this.
-
Looks like you could fill another order, at the rate people are wanting to be put on stand by.
-
Yes I know. If everyone would finish paying for this one I will ask RJ if I could contact the people to see if they wanted me to pursue what is left when I call in on Monday. But it would have to be extremely fast response and payment from everyone and it would have to meet the 40 min. The place to poll people is not here it would be in the forum of SSR4 or splitter. I'll PM RJ to see what he thinks.
Go here and post if interested
http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=7560.0 (http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=7560.0)
-
I'd be interested in 10 of these. Just a bump to show interest.
-
please keep the comments to the current coop.
anything else should be in the ssr4, or splitter firum sections.
Rod, you can lock your post to keep further unrelated comments out.
-
Man I missed this one too..... Maybe another one?
-
Since Timing is critical, I would give the people who have left to pay until mid day or early evening on Sunday to pay and then open the ones not payed for to anyone that wantsthem and can pay immediately. I know that this is not normal coop practice but this is not a normal coop and the people who became members were told that the payment needed to be made quickly. It is not fair to the members that paid promptly to lose out because a few fell asleep at the wheel.

I'm sending reminders to the members that still need to pay. [/b]
Again members that are still in need go to the following thread to get more info. RJ has cleared a second coop. But this one needs to be in the books first (Meaning order complete).
Go here and post if interested[/color]
http://diylightanimation.com/index.php?topic=7560.0
Everyone has paid. The second possible coop is open sign up now!!!. I try to PM members as well if I can.

As I posted on the members list we are good to go order placed and will have the tracking number in hand by close of business.
-
Thanks for hussle and hard work! Looks like this will help alot of people.
-
Got the tracking number the transformers are on the way, they are due to hit on Friday. Sorry can do any sorting this weekend my girls have a big swim meet going on. But will knock it out during the week
zwiller thanks for the kind words. I'm more than happy to help fellow members.
-
If you did not do this coop, there would be a lot of people with useless pcbs.
-
Thanks Rod! and good luck to your daughters, I was on swim team in HS and it was a great experience. :)
-
UPDATE transformers were received this afternoon. Sorry I can't sort them till after the weekend due to the swim meet but will update everyone once I get this sorted.
-
Sorting has started should be done today, labels tomorrow, everything send before the weekend. Got to get this stuff mailed before the rate hike on the 22nd.
-
I was able to finish all the sorting last night and also printed some of the about half of the shipping labels so those were dropped off at the P.O. this Morning. The rest will be done by tonight and will go out Wednesday morning. Boxes are shipping in the order payments were made.
-
All labels printed the rest of the boxes will be dropped off at the P.O. in the morning. Everyone should get their transformers before Friday.

Everything Shipped!!!!!

got mine! Many thanks! <wd..
-
I believe that we can move this coop to the finished section since everyone should have their parts in hand. So we can clear the way for other coops
If anyone has not received their parts let me know
-
I agree, I got my parts when the weather cleared earlier this week.
Thanks for a great COOP!!.
Freebird

Rod - Thank You for your time in doing this COOP!!!! I got mine last Friday.....If it were not for people like you (COOP Managers - I hope to become one some day) who give up their 'FREE' time to help us all out..I would be almost impossible to do this hobby!!! Again - Thank You for your time!!!!
