Some small news... It seems they started the builds as apparently I've not sent enough bits... But not everything is fitted anyway... They should be getting back to me tomorrow to say what's missing...

A small thought... While these are assembled, they won't have any fixes / mods done to them and won't be tested either. @Steve may be able to do that work ? But of course if any boards have faults, then it would likely be time consuming to diagnose..

Just got word back and there are some parts missing which haven't been fitted, I swear I sent enough parts, but with so many projects and so many parts ongoing mistakes do happen unfortunately.

Overall the bulk of the parts are fitted, when I get these back hopefully towards the end of next week, I will have to order and fit the missing parts myself. As nobody has any opinions about the fixes and testing, there will be supplied "as is" meaning you will have to work through the fixes list yourself.

Hurrah - progress at last!
:yay: :yay2: :cheer: :thumbup:

I was expecting to do the fixes myself anyway but I guess I should have said so. :blonde: :stickwhack:
Sorry...

I really must make time to sort out the donor boards now...

Collection is booked for today, so I should get them tomorrow. Though as said before, there are a few bits missing I need to fit first, I probably won't get chance until next week to do that..
