Luckily, we placed our order early this morning, so I'm hoping we might beat the rush of teams that were waiting on the release of these gearboxes. It stinks that we don't really have the means to make something with a large enough reduction using a reasonable amount of space in house.

I'm planning on giving BB a call today when I get out of work, or a call tomorrow morning just to follow up on our Order and get a better estimation of the lead time. I'm really hoping that BB is saying "5-10 days" just to cover themselves should 200 orders be placed in one day. Guess it's just time to wait and pray.
