TR-808 modification prices for customers outside Australia

2021-03-15 Robin Whittle rw@firstpr.com.au

This page lists prices for customers outside Australia, in Australian dollars for payment via PayPal.  If you are paying via TransferWise, or bank transfer, the prices will be 0.97 of the PayPal prices shown below.

The best way of estimating the cost in your currency is to commence a PayPal "Send Money" payment for the desired Australian dollar amount, to rw@firstpr.com.au .  After the PayPal system reports the total cost in your currency you can cancel the payment rather then confirm it.

After your machine arrives I will discuss the modifications you want via email or phone.  I will confirm the work to be done with the total cost.

To the TR-808 page: ../ .
To the ../prices-au/ page for Australian customers.
