Lee, I probably caused the availability problem with the original
display you were using. I found that to be a really neat display, so I
designed it into a specialized low-volume product I produce for a
client, and to ensure enough stock, I bought all they had (about 1,100
of them).
Hi Mark,
Aha! So THAT's where they all went! When we designed the badge, I ordered a couple hundred for the VCFMW show and follow-on orders. These were quickly gone; but when I tried to order more, MPJA said they were all sold. That was the "end" of the 6502 badges.
Luckily, I still had a couple boxes set aside for the Z80MC. Otherwise, I would have been out of business on it as well.
Then last year, one of the VCFMW guys (Mike Lee) found some more on ebay. So we were able to make another batch of badges for the show. I still have ~30 left, so the 6502 badges are currently available again. (Just don't buy 'em all).
