I just spoke with Applied. The minimum was hit and an order was placed with the factory! Anticipated delivery to Applied is around the end of July. No final pricing, but it is anticipated to be close to the original estimate.
Figured I would check-in with Applied today. Still end of July, early August.
Pre-Order looks to still be open, I placed an order just now. Hopefully these come to fruitation.
UPDATE!
Just got off of the phone with them. The manufacturer has 50 sets almost ready to ship. They have frames assembled and glass ready. They were waiting to finalize a "close to original" latch system, but they finally have one they like. I'm told orders could start shipping in November.
Now they have to sharpen the pencil to get a final price....

Thanks for posting the update. I wonder how many preorders they ended up with? I did end up getting my hat in the ring.
I'm waiting for the final price before I start to lean on Kelvin.... I mentioned it to another Eugene owner (GG); he indicates he is going to buy and asked about group shipping for the valley.

IIRC storage space is a concern for you, so if you need a roomy place to ship all the sets of windows I'd be happy to help.
Called today. They are expecting the first approval sample this week. It can ship one window per box via UPS. They anticipate calling the early purchasers before Thanksgiving. Pricing is still under negotiation. I was told to call back on the 22nd.
Called today.
The first approval sample was received around the end of November. It was good, but Jim K. wanted a few minor tweaks done to the frame. The next sample was received and all looks good. The manufacturer is in California and also owns a coach, so he is taking the final sample pair and installing them in his coach to get the full experience.
As the holidays are upon us, nothing will be built until January. Hopefully they will get the frame members built and windows assembled within a reasonable time-frame after that.
The final price is up on the GMCRVPARTS.com website; $997 for the pair. A bit higher than originally estimated (+$175/window over estimate), but we've spent more for smaller upgrades....

Wow, that is considerably more expensive. Sheesh, someone did a pretty bad job estimating costs there.
Ouch, makes me think about rebuilding my stockers, glad it wasn't charged right before Christmas lol.
