don't want to say too much as this isn't the place, but there is movement as a 220-240v machine is on its way to me for testing. Will keep you posted as best I can.
I'm hoping to meet with Joe in the next month or so to work the final prices out, there has had to be some adjustment to the machine for the CE rating that will make it a little more expensive, but as long as the $ stays as weak as it is, I think Joe wants to play fair.
(Disclaimer I am not in any way connected with Behmor, but I am talking to them)

Errrr Steve, in order to talk to someone you DO have to be connected in one way or the other.
I used to have the pound for dollar hate syndrome but it is partly explained by customs charging import duty on the shipping as well as the item. in effect we pay four times with shipping, shipping duty, import duty and VAT, all before we pay for the item. I found this out when I imported various items including the Gene. CE Certiification will eventually be updated at the manufacturing stage and cut out any post engineering.

Ok I just wanted to clarify, I'm not selling then yet, we are talking to them but nothings signed there is no done deal as yet. But I am working closely with Joe to hopefully bring this to market.
Its true the import and VAT and all the other "extras" make it so expensive. Luckily Joe has sat down and let me explain all these extras unlike Hottop and Gene who really didnt grasp I had t pay these costs or go to prison.

If you have seen the road blocks and police searches going on in Staffordshire you would not be so shure that Steve's freedom was due to good behaviour.
My own idea of upping the heating elements on my clothes dryer will probably get no further that the drawing board stage.
Proboably a good idea as I have little clue about electrigamy, positron, negawotsit and google earth hurt my head.
