Yeah, yeah, you just want to come work in my garage so you can enjoy the cool Pacific breeze while polishing away blissfully.

Correct. Organize a place and 30 people and I get on the plane with my bag-O-tricks.

I don't have timing on updates just yet. I'm waiting for quotes to come back from tooling and from TUV America. It looks like 90 days to have everything pulled together:

- Longer cord
- New switch slide mechanism and rear housing
- New counterweight system with adjustable balance

The cost of the upgrade kit will be $50. When the UDM Model 1000, Rev 2.0 is released, the list price will increase from the current $149.99 to $199.99.

Will owners of the Rev 1.0 UDM receive the upgrades free of charge? If so, then when would the $50 charge apply?

Just trying to decide if I should order one now or wait until Rev 2.0 comes out.

Thanks for all of your hard work on this project!

Re: UDM thoughts from a normal guy....Dissapointed

I'm waiting on the trade-in plan myself. Will this be in effect when v.2 comes out?

Hahah Tort, I said IF I had not just gotten married. It just amazes me how much that event cost. It was over $25k not counting rings and we did not even do anything amazingly fancy.

Now just because Im a whore, I will post one pic of my beautiful wife!



This is just a pic from a Nikon D50, the pro pics aren't ready yet.

Tomorrow I will test out the UDM again on another car.

And just to be totally fair to DavidB and the UDM team I have been in contact with him about some of the issues I have had with it and I may, may have a defective machine. It happens with every product, once I send it back and they look at it I will post more but until then I do not think that it would be fair to criticize the product more.
