Send me two complete broken boards, get one working back. You pay shipping.
Missing parts charged accordingly.

I'm far enough into my backlog to take some on. By the time you send some
in, I hope to have two for exchange, one for exchange now.

If you'd worked on some of the boards I have, you might not. :)

I'm sure I've worked on boards far worse than any you've seen =-P

I've got one with house paint on a lot of it, rusted traces, the top eaten
off it, a rat-gnawed cap, etc. want to try that one? I might, if I can
figure out how to take the paint off.

I've done Omega Race, it can't get much worse than that.

Paint won't hurt anything... I wouldn't even worry about it until/unless
I had to remove chips with paint on 'em.

Ugh... I did an omega race where 2 full rows of chips were corroded.
Made me wish I had a bead blaster to help out with the mess.

shotgun :)

Well, I might try it with the paint on it, but IIRC, it had chips with rusty
through holes, etc. A real PITA so it will be a cold rainy day before I try
that one. For now, it's parts. I know the paint won't hurt anything but it
seemed like there were some sockets covered over or something that looked
more trouble than it was worth.
