SINGLE TOOTH Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Where did u get the stuff? About how much did u spend? I wouldnt mind doing this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimo Posted June 14, 2007 Author Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'm in the UK, so I guess I will have payed a lot more than you can get stuff for in the UK, but soldering Irons, desoldering wick are easy to get hold of. Inverters and Eproms are cheap from the AA store. I have a friend with a Burner, so that is saving me loads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
