Progress, progress, progress!
Hi Everyone,
I've been enjoying the emails from the early bird backers who have gotten a chance to play with Mr.Ghost and find all sorts of interesting sources of EMF in their houses and workplaces. Thanks, and keep sending me stories!
A while ago we contracted Precision Manufacturing here in Southern California to make the injection-molded Mr.Ghosts for everyone who is expecting a February shipment. There is a photo below of Dale Constuble of Precision, who has been doing an amazing job of getting the mold finished and everything ready for production. The second photo is of the 3d mold design, and the third a photo of a CNC machining one of the Mr.Ghost-shaped graphite electrodes that will be used to burn in the Mr.Ghost shape into the mold cavity.
What's this all mean? It means I'll have test parts, fully molded, and ready for approval very shortly. So exciting! Then we'll run production in the early part of February (if all goes according to plan) and ship out your rewards soon!
Cheers,
Aaron

Custom EMF detector with a 50 foot solid core wire antenna. Probably only marginally more sensitive, and extremely impractical. I just wanted a higher reward than $25.
