WAG = Wild Assed Guess
more like an Educated Guess - given the history with clockwork - ordered the DevTerm during covid - it was close to a year, uConsole ~6 months , PicoCalc ā¦ if it comes in three months it will be a surprise.. (iāve almost forgot I Ordered it) then there are the US tariffs .. perfect stormā¦
Someone ordered from Europe or concretely Spain? Will be necessary paid customs? Iām back to ordered again after cancel

Nothing extra paid for mine in the UK !?

BTW, my replacement display arrived yesterday. So it took almost exactly two weeks since it was shipped, though it was stuck many days in customs arriving into the US. I havenāt installed it yet though, because I want to be very careful and make sure I donāt have to mess with it again for a good long time for fear of breaking it.
I let Alex know it arrived, and asked him about Clockworkās plans for the screen issue. He said theyāve got some kind of improvement planned and the factory is working on that right now. So maybe those who receive their devices later will get the benefit of a less fragile screen. (Iām not sure what is changing, whether itās the screen itself, the case, or what.) For anyone who doesnāt want to swap modules around a lot and is very careful during assembly, the original screen is fine. Itās only opening up the case that risks damaging the screen.
Taping the screen down like this helps greatly (note one side shorter so as not to cover the light guide). I guess the upcoming mod is simply protruding click lips or screwed clips holding the screen in placeā¦ My second idea is to drill the centre two back case mounting holes and add spacers to those screws so they hold the circuit board in place AND stop movement of the display ribbon cable. Then only the four corner screws need to be removed to remove the back cover (photos coming soon).
Did it, now only the four corner screws needed to open the case and motherboard/display ribbon stay in place. Bottom washers will be improved though for larger ones with a flat sideā¦

About 50ā¬ but I think fedex made a mistake with the facturationā¦ So in fact, normally itās about only the half of that. Canāt confirm for now, as fedex take a looooong time to answer every request!
We got the same idea of using washer to hold the PCB when using picocalc in āopenedā state.
If youāre using metallic one, you can use so tape between it the PCB to avoid scratch on its surface too.
In austria with shipping and taxes 110.
Additional to the ClockWork cost (75$ + 25$)?

Only metal used is the screw itself, going off topic of deliveries though. Good to hear replacement parts can be ordered from Clockwork and supplied in a week.
Maybe someone interested in pre-replace Pico before mount the kit. I bought this Pico 2W.

Sorry the offtopic.
Hi! 
Iām Ariel, from Argentina.
Iām 56 years old, and Iāve been using computers for about 40 years (I started with a TI-99/4A in 1983).
I just bought a PicoCalc device to relive the old BASIC days.
My order number is #379xx. Does anyone have an approximate idea of the delivery wait time? 
P.S.: A couple of months ago I bought a uConsole, order #33xxx, but I havenāt heard anything yet. I hope the PicoCalc arrives first! 
Hi Ariel. Hopefully shipped 30 business days from when you ordered as mine was. Shipping is certainly faster than uConsole !.
