Whereabouts are you?

I've just acquired a manual pick and place machine, stencil stuff and
reflow oven since being made redundant (and the hardware is now outsourced,
so they didn't need the gear [I did buy it, before anyone has visions of me
walking it out of the office under the cover of darkness!])

I could do it if you're relatively local, and it's not massively
complicated. No idea on cost, as I've not done it for anyone else before!
