Markus,
Thanks for the link.
Did you download the video from Bungard ? It show the PCB moving in the
plating bath ! Do you have that feature ?

The site is German and I can't read German. When you finish your web
site, could you please post some Part numbers for the item needed from
Bungard ...

BTW Keep the stuff coming here at this forum, it is VERY MUCH on
topic... Good work.

I don't know... 11 hours since it was built and no web page yet !...
Have you been sleeping again .... :-) Thanks I'll wait.

Best regards
Hans Wedemeyer
