Got a few people interested in Box-O-Trix PCBs so I'm doing a re-issue.  
Feel free to get in on it :)

Hi,

You emailed me a while back asking about Box-O-Trix PCBs.  Sorry it's 
been a long time getting back to you - I've been a bit busy lately, but 
have finally got round to pricing up a re-issue of the PCBs.

So this is just an initial email to see if you are still interested and 
if so how many PCBs you would like.  The price depends on how many 
people want them but it should be at most £35, if not a bit cheaper.  
What you get is a professionally manufactured 324x99mm double sided, 
soldermasked, silkscreen printed PCB.

The boards come in a single piece but need to be cut into the main board 
and sub-board for front panel LEDs.  Last time I cut everyone's boards 
myself which took quite a lot of time and got through loads of jigsaw 
blades, so I'd prefer not to do this again.  So maybe add £5 if you 
really don't want to cut the board yourself and I'll do it for you.   
It's easy enough to do yourself with a fresh metal-type jigsaw blade 
(will be blunt by the time you've finished!).  Just stick some masking 
tape over the PCB to prevent the jigsaw scratching it as you cut.

Pre-programmed PICs for the MIDI control of the gate sections are 
available for £15 each or you can download the source code and burn your 
own.

P&P will be charged at cost - last time it was £2 within UK, £3 within 
Europe & £4 for rest of world.  You can pay by bank transfer, from 
PayPal balance or from credit card via PayPal.  The last method will add 
~4% to cover fees.

Estimated timescale...
It's going to take a week or so to find out who's still interested, then 
maybe another week or so to get the firm orders in (I'm probably going 
to ask for pre-payment, or at least a deposit as I don't want to end up 
with unsold PCBs if people change their minds).  Then a couple of weeks 
for PCBs to be made.

So overall they could be going in the post to you in about a month's time.

Cheers,
Seb
