[R-390] R-390 Digest, Vol 88, Issue 12

[Jim Green]

If there is a University or vo-tech near-by, Get to know someone that  
works in one of the electronics labs. They can make small quantities  
for you quite reasonably. I have a friend that works at the UW- 
Madison. I supply the art and photosensitive PC board, and he does the  
rest.
