[Elecraft] Assemblers wanted for LP-100 couplers

[Larry Phipps]

As the parts roll in for the 2nd run of LP-100s, I am once again looking 
for assemblers. This time just for the couplers, as I have the PCBs 
under control. For the first run, I built all the couplers myself, but 
the ratio of kit-to-assembled has dropped for the 2nd run, and I don't 
have the time to do the couplers myself and continue development of my 
projects.

If you have built an LP-100 kit, you know what's involved. If not, you 
can find a link to the assembly manual at www.telepostinc.com/lp100.html 
This is mostly mechanical work, and involves mounting connectors, 
preparing short lengths of Teflon coax, winding two large ferrite cores 
and mounting 12 large (2540) size SMT resistors on a little attenuator 
PCB. I currently have orders for 40 assembled wattmeters, and would like 
to find several assemblers so that I can minimize shipping cost and 
aggregate assembly time. I am thinking  maybe 10 couplers per assembler, 
with a one week turnaround time.  Assembly time is about 2 hours each 
once up to speed. The project would start in 2-3 weeks when the coupler 
cases are scheduled to arrive.
