Problem is I'm staring at security T8 screws and I'm speaking with DTR asking how to get them out, not sure if there's another way to get the diodes out. If not, then it'll have to wait until I can get a T8 set, hopefully from Walmart, or RadioShack tomorrow. Either way, they're going out soon.
Well, I just used a flathead to not only open T8 security screws, but also these triplet head screws (not sure what they're called.) All bragging aside, I now have 19 9mm 445nm diodes each with their plastic lead protectors, individually in little pink ESD baggies. I'm going to pick up some shipping supplies, then send these out Monday. Base post office isn't open very long on the weekends..
CONUS shipments going out Tomorrow. I'm looking into whether or not I need anything for intl shipping (customs forms, etc.) Also working on getting the rest of Blord's address (for everyone who's shipments are going there.) Updates will be in this post.
This has also been an eye opener for me. I would like to personally apologize for the time this took. There is no reason or excuse for it. I obviously wasn't fully aware of what I was getting in to. However, that being said, I did learn. If there is a desire for a round two, once these all get out, I will consider it. I feel I can cut the time in half on this next one now that I am more prepared and I know what to get, what to do, etc.
