MOTM

As to pre-stuffing parts, I'd scream an emphatic "NO".  MOTM kits are 
therapy for me.  As a completely anal person, it would make measuring 
the value of each resistor and cap much more difficult.  I demand my 
right to know the EXACT value of that "100K" resistor I'm stuffing 
into a spot reserved for a "10K".

To make error detection easier, I stuff all resistors and other non-
polarity sensitive devices in a uniform direction.  That is, the gold 
bands of 5% resistors all face the same way.  This also makes for a 
more pleasing appearance.  (Hey, I told you I was anal!)  Don't try 
to tease me by saying "yeah, we can do that".

10 dollars or 10 cents, I don't want it.  Just stuff the parts in a 
baggie and I'll be happy.  Sequencing the parts on tape? (Old 
question.)  Nay from where I sit.  Same anal perspective.

I realize though, this would make life easier for Paul.  He could 
just wave a number of units and that would speed up his assembly time 
for those ordering assembled units.  I don't care if the price of 
assembled units dropped to the price of kits... I still want to do it 
myself... I'd order kits.

O/T request... how 'bout putting MOTM chips up for sale on the 
website?  Like the low offset op-amps, NPN and PNP pairs, and 
other "special" items.  I'd like to order a few of each for repair 
purposes... You know, when through-hole parts disappear and a 2210 
cannot be had for any price, I'd sure like to have a small number in 
my parts cabinet to service my own needs.  Paul?

Cheers!
