Hi Paul & all,

Just curious about the '120 via holes. When I got to the instructions to
solder the "via holes" on the '410 I realized I had not done it on the
'120. Was I supposed to? Did I miss that instruction somehow?

Thanks,
Rafael

The via holes should always be filled in, but it's not always
mentioned in the instructions. You can always fill them in at a later
time, just make sure you use the no-clean solder.

Thanks! I haven't tested them yet, but I'm glad I got this figured out
before I tried to troubleshoot.

I'm taking a head count on a new panel that I want to have made in
the upcoming Stooge panel run. The panel requires some custom work
beyond the normal painting and silk screening (punching out square
holes). Stooge Industries has graciously offered to do this custom
work, but they would like to know how many of these they are likely
to sell so they don't get stuck with a bunch of extra metal. Also, I
would like to know how many PCBs to order when the time comes.

Here's the main page for this new project:

If you are interested in panels, PCBs, or both, please email me and
let me know. I will coordinate with Stooge Industries.

Thanks
