Yes, sorry guys, there is still a bit of a wait on the caps. It varies 
WILDLY with the runs from the factory, when they make them, we get them, and 
they have about 8 weeks between runs. So at the most, it can take 8-10 weeks 
for your caps to ship. Patience is a virtue that carries a lot of wait.

The wait is worth it though, as the price and performance of the Groups caps 
is as good as they get! :)

I've seen a lot of questions regarding bottle caps. Well, the Group has a 
proven solution for those too :) We didn't always have corporate 
sponsorship, and in the days when we were just getting into coiling we 
designed the Geek Group Bucket Cap. A simple, robust, portable and CLEAN 
saltwater capacitor based on Corona bottles. It's the most portable of the 
SW caps we've seen (Ever drop a glass aquarium filled with water, salt, and 
oil?...BIG mess).
