The email doesn't say we can send in the form, but I'd much rather do it that way.

That would be the only way to use the signature block.

I'm hoping Moog sees the error of their ways on this one. Sending CC info via e-mail is a non-starter here, especially since they have that info already. Just weird.

Hey, they mention about making us immortal. That is gonna really piss-off the people that have been waiting for me to kick.

hey all,

I think whoever suggested emailing any payment info to Moog was just not thinking -- I mean, never do this. However, if you email saying yes you'd like to order, we have a printable CC payment form we can email to you for you to FAX back to us. Or, of course you can send us your info thru the mail. Just confirm your interest via email and leave the payment info for more secure channels. This should have been made more clear in the communication from Moog.

Edit: It sounds like perhaps the email from Moog was in fact printable and faxable? I haven't seen it; I'm just reading the info in this thread. Anyway, my apology for the communication error on our part.

Me too, but I sent it through an encrypted channel at work. Sheer dumb luck, I'm sure.

Well i cancelled my credit card just in case. A new one is in the post and i'll use that via a more secure system.

I think that they might be sending emails in groups, like if your unit will be shipping in december then you might have received an email. I haven't received an email and Im also not expecting my unit to ship until the first quarter.

Can't wait for the pictures.

Taurus 3 Project Update

First, thanks to all of you who have placed your faith in us with your many orders for this exceptional and historical product. Here’s where we are and what you can expect.

All the mechanical has been completed. We are waiting final qualification samples and then we will be ready to release the production order for sheet metal, extrusions, pedal board, wood, push buttons, foot wheels, and the various other mechanical components that make up the Taurus 3.

All the PCB’s have been designed; the sound engine, the controller board, the user interface, the Input/Output board, the footwheel sensor boards, and various other smaller boards that make the Taurus 3 work. The sound engine is really incredible. It delivers on all levels and I am sure that you will all be amazed and delighted.

We expect this all to come together in December and we will START shipping then. Shipments will be made to those customers who helped launch the product with their deposits late last year. It will take time to work through the 600+ orders we have. So please be patient. We expect to be able to produce a small quantity in December and ramp-up from there. If you order was toward the backend of our initial offer you will not see your units until first quarter of next year. Please be patient with us. Each one is hand-built and thoroughly tested and that takes time.

As for the many who have questioned, ‘what’s it look like?’ We will release pictures when we are ready to ship.

Ok, thanks again for your faith and your patience. We are close but it will be worth the wait.

Pretty cool huh?

I'm excited - can't wait for the pics, and of course, my Taurus 3!!!!

You can do something worthwhile while waiting for your taurus, something like listening to country music, taking ur woman to the park or anything away from moog stuff.

I ordered mine on FRIDAY at like 3:30 central time (they were almost closed for the weekend) and the price was set to go up to full price on Monday.

I was lucky to get my order in then.

It WILL be worth the wait.
