I've had to put a number of parts back in these boards that have shaken
loose on their way here. I assume they get shaken loose on their way to
the customers as well.

Personally, I'd rather make up the resistor baggies and ship them,
although it is a pain in the ass.

That's done by a pretty big machine.

I'm not sure what happend, maybe the resistors weren't secured properly
while being shipped?
