The etching tank will save me loads of mony over time.  I've been having someone make all my stupid box boards for me.  it will also be a lot faster, and more accurate with the drill press.

i also have a few hundred $$$$ worth of parts on their way.

The oscilloscope is definitely a life-changer.

What kind of drill press did you get? Tabletop?

I fantasize about my volume getting high enough to warrant getting my production boards made by Futurlec.

I got a cheap $89 press new made by delta.

I have lots of other uses for it too, as i own a home and always seem to be working on something.

talking about the scope. i found an old electronics magazinne in our lab that has a big article on how to make a board to fit into the cartridge slot of a gameboy that turns it into a half decent oscilloscope.

if people want then i can try and scan it in and put it up somewhere.
