Almost I've seen far worse in production equipment. OTOH, without a case, it does look far from professional. Unless, that is, Dotan stripped the unit to take the photograph. > like someone wire wrapped it. No wrapping in evidence, to my eye. The odd wire here and there is to avoid the cost of double sided boards and plating through. On a simple project, it's far easier to just add a wire link, since the price of making d/s boards can more than double the cost of parts. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Kill joy, bad guy, big talking, small fry Death On Two Legs - Queen

Looking like that, it'd be virtually unsaleable here, unless it was sold in kit form.
