Re: [unofficial_cyndustries_group] Re: Come and gone + refunds

I don't know if this helps you at all, but there's some rumblings on
the electro-music forum that they're going to do a second run of the
LPG PCBs. (Don't solve your problems with Cyndustries, but might be a
way for you to get an LPG.) So, depending on your skills, you could
either make one for yourself or get someone different to make one for
you...(this might be a project for a small manufacturer as custom work
(I'm thinking of Michael Ford of Metalbox, STG of STG Soundlabs, or
possibly yours truly. FWIW, before I had any skills and before Michael
Ford was Metalbox, I hired him to do some custom work for me, and he
did an awesome job at a very reasonable price...)
