Ladies and Gentlemen,
I have just received my mechanisms, and all I have to say is they are amazing! They are a lot better than the audio sample given to us! They sound incredible. I know a few others have received them as well.
Just a quick note: They will be quite when just holding them. My suggestion to make them louder: Turn the key, then take it off, then put it on the edge of a table, book, anything solid, and they will resonate and make a louder sound! If someone could make me a high-definition audio recording of a mechanism, I would appreciate it. i will replace the one on the main page!
Quick box update: Things are going slowwwwlly. I have been feeling some flak about making the replica, especially regarding the copy-right. Because of this, I will be engraving ONLY the top of the box, and leaving the sides as-is. I just finished a new top (to have the hollow inside), and now that I have the mechanism I can work on the stopper device, hinging, and assembling the box. I also need to order velvet, and design an inside enclosure. I have found a few people who can do the engraving for the plate on the inside and outside, I just need to get pricing from them. Sorry it's taken so long, however, I've had to work out a lot of the major kinks to this. My prototype isn't going to be beautiful, but it will be a representation on what I could accomplish. I will take the knowledge learned from it and apply it to making a final build.
Once again, if you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me! Second batch SHOULD ship this week, and any individuals after that will proceed probably next week.
Just a note on shipping: Mine shipped on the 22nd, and I received them today. That includes a weekend shipping, i.e., they come REALLY quick! Faster than something shipped from CA to me in RI, haha.
