Ok, I have all the boards unpopulated. If anyone is good with a soldering iron, you can grab these off the website today for 15 bucks shipped to the continous U.S.A.

Now on the populated ones, I'm getting ran all over the place with getting someone to do these. I had a place locked into do it, and then they pretty much lost interest and tapered off. I appologize about it taking longer then I thought. The populated ones are comming, but I don't have a new timeline on them. Its just whenever I can find someone who feels willing to do them.

Unfortunately it doesn't. I can give you the schematic, but thats about it. Cyee here has said that he is a very experience electronics technician and wants to put together the boards. I haven't heard back from him however. Right now they will just be boards and I can send a file of the schematic. The boards were 10 bucks a piece to me, I figure 5 for an envelope and packing material as well as shipping, and I might break even. Unfortunately thats just the way it is until I find someone to assemble them.

I appologize greatly because I know I disappointed some people on this.

Ok this is the deal guys. Cyee has given us what I think is a fair price on these.
Cost will be at:

QTY 25 $45 a piece
QTY 20 $53.75 a piece
QTY 15 $70 a piece
QTY 10 $102.5 a piece


The problem is Cyee has to run 25 units a piece so the more we split the cost of these boards down into fewer and fewer people the expensive factor goes through the roof.

These boards are fully assembled and include 6 inch wire leads on each connection. All you have to do is wire it in. I'll start a group buy in the GB forum, in just a few minutes.

any deposits? i do hope at least 25 buy in, despite the recent resentment of other forums, may i suggest we open this group buy to other forums? that way we may get more buyers, and possibly reduce the price for everyone?

Please spread the word to whoever you can find, its hard to get on m.net without them using the ban stick, so if someone whose in good standing with the moderators could spread it over there that would be great. They will have to log in here and letme know that they are on board as I'm not going to be posting a buy button until we know the qauntity.

Finding out about this was nearly impossible, but I bought in.
