Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Hello. Any Australians about? (specificaly toner tranfer stuff)

2005-06-19 by Bill Maxwell

I'm in Tassie.  Check out Australia Post too.  Thy carry small A4 CBC 
laminators, one seemingly more substantial for $69.95, a more obviously 
plastic version, blue in colour, for $39.95.  I'm likely to buy the $69.95 
one and see if it can be converted.  If not, I can stand that price to keep 
it as a laminator.

Part of my reasoning for conducting the experiment is that CBC would be 
unlikely to run a varied inventory of parts for its smaller laminators and 
therefore there must be a good chance that those for our A4 market share 
design features for the North American market?  I'll let you know.

Bill
