I have six 96pt TT patchbays I'm still not finished with. Is she available
for contract soldering and wiring work? But seriously, somewhere in
between cutting hundreds of 3' lengths of wire, 1/2" pieces of heatshrink,
putting teflon on drain wires, and soldering the whole mess together
- I managed to put together my first MOTM-300. I still have one left
to go, plus I haven't calibrated the first. I'm anxiously awaiting
my summer vacation so I can get all the modules working together.
That will be fun.
