Re: WTB GK (aka MIDI) pickup
I have one of these
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RY ... UTF8&psc=1 I don't do any SMT at all and, admittedly, I use the hot air mainly for shrink tubing and working seams on drysuits
good thing is, since it's.1 thruhole ready already
Might be good to get my soldering skills back anyway.
Then again, when I want it clean, I use the Victor method of soldering !
hmmm, don't know where automated custom PCBs are these days,but
just farting around I plugged some numbers into one of the order system and it came out at like $7 per at 10 QTY for FR-4 (and abt a third of that was shipping) and like $5 per for Al so maybe there's hope for doing more exact sizing on the various string spacings on a nice clean piece of FR-4 or aluminum core ...if others are interested
Thanks guys for doing the legwork on opening them up (I was afraid they were super potted inside)
I'll see if we can get the convo moved over
