I got one thru the normal process. I'm not youtube connected or anything else. I just pre-ordered thru my usual dealer (who happens to be a forum sponsor here), and that was that. Took less than 60 days. I hear others are getting them faster, and that some dealers have them sitting on their shelves.
I think the issue may be more the 11 vs 9 inch coil. There seems to be more demand and less supply of the 9 inch coil. If you go with the 11 like I did, I'll bet a few e-mails/phone calls may find you a machine.
Good luck -- its a good machine -- not up to the hype of some of those you tube and white board video people IMHO, but that is always the case; you just have to ignore them and their big words, air tests, and planted coins. I think you will like the machine, but don't expect to find silvers 20 feet deep like some of these people are claiming
