I ordered the SSII transkit from Time Machine, and it did take a few months, but after speaking on the phone with Jeff it was a case of a natural disaster (he had to help out some family members who were displaced by a hurricane) and a simple clerical error (at one point my not-yet shipped order was placed on the 'sent out' stack). I'd order from Time Machine again in a heartbeat- the prices are good, and the quality is good. I do take things like that into consideration, and I have to applaud Jeff for with a couple of rather testy e-mails I sent out! And I've heard very few negative stories about his delivery times. Perry's? I'll pick it up if I see it at a show, but after all the horror tales I've heard, no way am I going to order it via internet or mail.
