The final few Empeg Home/Office Docking Stations are now packaged up and ready to go. Of the 223 docks produced, only 7 remain. These are all the Works model, with integrated fan, serial port, and ethernet. Available for immediate shipment upon receipt of payment.

These docks can be used to convert an Empeg/RioCar unit for home/office use, extending the usefulness and lifetime of the player long beyond when it can no longer be fitted to newer automobiles. Also provides a convenient way to do away with cable clutter, and enables easy transfer between car and non-car uses.

Full information is available at the Home Docks link on this page. To purchase one, email me first (to confirm availability), and then send payment when instructed to do so. Your dock will be mailed out immediately, and should take 7-14 days to arrive (worldwide).

Thanks to all who have provided homes for the other 216 units!

Only 3 left.. last chance!

That's right, my workshop is now free for other activiites after almost a year at this, and my home office now seems larger without the stack of unshipped cardboard boxes laying around.

But there's still one dock left, ready to ship at a moment's notice..

This is Empeg Home Dock #221, the last one built -- just as good (or better) as the first 220 of them, but it too must go.

EDIT: Gone in 60 seconds! Sold to Mark C.

I also have one of Mark's docks for sale. PM me if interested.

But there's still one dock left, ready to ship at a moment's notice..

I'll vouch for the build quality and the buying experience. I got one of the few remaining ones: Very nice attention to detail, and it looks loads better than the bare empeg on my stereo cabinet.

Thanks, Mark!

Aw man, I didn't get the last one. Oh well, when my order comes in, I'm sure I'll be in love anyway. Glad I managed to score one of these! Thanks Mark.

Is it too late ordering two docks now ?

Tada,

You have a PM.

Anyone else? We're doing a very tiny batch of docks, and really only want to do this ONCE..

Cheers

You have a PM

You have another PM... (I'll be late for my own funeral)

Hmmm... the home dock website says you are currently working on a small batch to fulfill orders you received in November. But then it says new orders are not being accepted. : ( That sucks cuz your docks look really nice and I would love to get ahold of one.

Hi,

I can make one more dock, if you want. EMAIL me (not PM): docks@rtr.ca and we can discuss.

Cheers

Now that we've finished (for real) all production of new docks, the two model docks that I've held onto (for measurements and the like) are up for grabs.

Further info at the Home Docks link (above).

Cheers

How about a lottery of Serial Numbers?
Randomly select two serial numbers.
Lucky holder wins one of the last two remaining Docks!
If no one replys the day of announcement you can once again sell them.
Thought I give it a shot.
Not that I would'nt pay for your quality docks. Very nice work indeed.

Actually, I had an even better idea.

We have one extra extra dock here, made with solid black walnut (top & bottom), covered with three coats of hand-rubbed clear shellac finish.

I've packed it up, and am mailing it tomorrow to a previous dock purchaser.. as a Christmas/appreciation gift to someone deserving of it. Let's hope that person posts photos of it for the BBS, cuz I forgot to take some before packing it.

Cheers

Tempting, very tempting, but I should really save my money in case car shipping/titling snafus crop up.

That will be one lucky person.

I have a digital camera!

Me too!

(granted, he was scheduled to send that out *yesterday*)

I suppose I ought to point out the obvious here, so that too many people with digital cameras don't get their hopes up! It was only ONE dock, and there were hundreds of original dock purchasers, more than one of which is deserving of the special edition bonus dock. But only ONE dock was sent.

Meanwhile, original dock #010 is still up for grabs. Several people emailed me asking to purchase it, but then I never heard back from them again after giving the "go ahead" for paypal.

Cheers

Docks #009 and #010 have now both been sold and shipped.

Cheers

Bloody superb.

Just got mine in the post (UK) and it's bloody quality - thanks Mr Lord, you are a gent.

Greetings!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! I am honored!!! The dock is GREAT!

Congrats! That dock looks really great!
Mark couldn't have given it to a nicer person, as far as I'm concerned !
(it really blends in with your furniture too!)

Is that a real candlestick phone or a repro?

I knew Paul would get it... he definitely deserves it. Nice piece of kit! I love your mix of tech and antique. looks great. Is that an atomic clock?

Greetings!

Thanks! <embarassed grin>

It is a rather eclectic combination... Yes, that is a real candlestick phone. I did not bother connecting it, but it theoretically should work. All of the wiring is there; I would just need to hook it up to a terminal block. The clock is a GPS satellite controlled nixie clock. I like my numbers to have an orange flicker to them...

Does that clock automatically handle daylight savings time? Doesn't say on the page...
