Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #45 – July 23, 2018, 12:34:07 PM For those talking about the AMP Annealer, it appears that my backorder for the AMP Annealer from Brownells (originally expected mid-July), is now at the "we don't know when we'll get it" state. I don't know if that means I might end up with the Mark II version, or not. I've asked Brownells to followup and try to get a better answer on delivery. I may need to switch to the drinking/distilling aspects of this thread in the mean time... Sigh 1 Likes

SighMeet my new $200/bottle rye. (my wife bought it for me) I am looking for 5 gallons craft casks so I can age my rye and bottle my own. Knob Creek Rye is excellent and much less expensive.

Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #49 – July 25, 2018, 11:16:55 AM Well, looks like I need more single malt scotch.Had an update from Brownells today via email. Basically, the backorders on the original AMP Annealing machine are being cancelled, in favor of the APM Mark II Annealing Machine, which includes the Aztec Functionality pre-installed. The new price is $1395 US with orders expected to be fulfilled around the end of August. So, my order will be changed to a pre-order for the new item, and I'll continue to wait.. It is beginning to make me wonder if it's worth it..R
Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #50 – July 25, 2018, 01:30:13 PM I got the same email. I replied to keep my order. Glad the price isn't @ $1500...but i wonder what Brownells will charge for shipping?
Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #51 – July 25, 2018, 01:39:56 PM Well, I'm on the Brownells "Edge" shipping plan, so it isn't a factor for me.. 1 Likes

OK maybe not! This batch has been on oak for 2 months and needs another 4 weeks but is fantastic.Thats a beautiful colour mate. I bet IT IS good......

Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #54 – August 12, 2018, 10:02:33 PM So has anyone heard when these will start to ship? I have heard the last of August.... anyone heard anything different???
Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #55 – August 13, 2018, 06:07:42 AM I'm only hearing late August from Brownells.
Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #56 – August 26, 2018, 06:16:23 PM Another update from AMP. Someone on Facebook asked and their reply was "hoping to ship mid September". I'm still waiting for my Brownell's backorder which I was able to get the extra 10% off. Hopefully they follow through. Price for the Mark II seems to be $1395. On another note their AMP-MATE is shipping. 1st 60 units going to Graf's and 2nd going to Creedmoor sports.
Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #57 – August 29, 2018, 01:36:26 PM Just confirming the "Mid-September" expectation from Brownells. Customer service said they got in "some", but not enough to fill backorders. So, for me, it's looking like 6 months start to finish..
Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #58 – September 21, 2018, 02:21:51 PM Mark 2 got pushed back to mid October *sigh*
Re: AMP annealer Aztec mode now available! Reply #59 – September 27, 2018, 07:47:54 AM And yet another conversation with Brownells. As of a couple of days ago, when I called them (again), they are now saying three more weeks, so Mid-October is about the same expectation for me.
