The CD32 riser availability in the UK/Europe is annoying the crap out of me... I have cash, does no one want it?

Unfortunately the risers that us guys in the uk are working on have not been verified yet, I know solidcore (and I think supaduper) are intending to build some for sale, and are currently using modified basic TF risers for testing. Perhaps one of them has a spare board they populate for you.
Haven't heard anyone say they are making Kipper risers here in the uk yet I'm afraid.

As for mine, I don't intend on building the FB-32 for others, but I will be selling full kits on the 'bays so others can and of course the project will be open sourced so you can order everything yourself if you want.

Patience is the key, they will be become available in the coming months I'm sure

I should be putting an order in for some Kipper boards tonight or tomorrow.
Will sell them as blanks, kits and built.

Just had a load of bits from UTSource just. Know what I will be doing after work!

Good to know someone is

I have too many boxes full of antistatic bags containing components, looking forward to being able to start emptying them!

@bprepared lol I know what you mean - the rs 44 pin cpld's are hilariously packed like booty bags from the 1980's. If you have any spare switches fella I'd take some off you.

Chris.

I have no interest in the misery soldering 400 pins for a tenners return.

Yeah soldering that is really tedious... I did two last night.

FOL · 04 October 2017, 14:51

Hmmmm,

Must be me. I love soldering millions of pins,

.
They should be priced at between £15 - £25.

plasmab · 04 October 2017, 14:54

Yup. But the materials cost too and I charge VAT unfortunately

Similar here, I happy just being a designer and parts supplier, I couldn't do what Kipper does that's for sure, I'd go loopy

@solidcore, I'm sure I can add a few more to the order, FYI they are about £1 ea, so just let me know how many you want. They do a straight mount version if you prefer, I just want mine to sit on the edge of the board 'out of the way' but as close as practical to the TF jumper so as to keep signal attenuation as low as possible

I sell mine for $20 USD.

amigadude · 04 October 2017, 15:08

£25-30 is a good price or 2hrs labour@~£10ph + parts + P&P + VAT...

Really after RGB & PS2 keyboard connectors though...

Price too low? blame Canada!

I suggest you send a nice message to kgc210 then, he's ordering some kipper boards to assemble.

But at that price I only get to keep £10.

but it'll be real easy with your new superduper microscope...

I know there's some jobs you can't be paid enuff to do... especially when you doing this for fun and to help your fellow retro fans.

Wasn't sure on material costs... yeah that is too low, even I wouldn't work that... £35-40 + P&P seem fairer?

Not trying persuade you to do it, just trying to see what people think is fair in the hope someone will want the job

alenppc · 04 October 2017, 15:43

I don't calculate labour time in any of the things I do (that's what my day job is for), otherwise the result would be way too expensive even at minimum wage. Consider that people are complaining about the current prices I charge since I get a $6 markup on the riser.

For example, it takes me a little over 2 hours to build a TF530 (this includes building a socket out of pinstrips), and maybe a little less than two hours for the TF328. Riser pin soldering takes about 20 minutes.

This could be downloaded and modified most of the work is done.

Nice, I'll see if I can modify it to do what I want it to do, but I am not sure. i want something that clips onto the riser, because the risers (at least some of them) cover access to the screw hole, and have holes atop... so... yeah, need to look into it!

You gotta have some patience buddy. As plasmab said, we waited how long to have this kind of product? We can wait a wee bit more.
Only reason I have a riser is because I jumped the gun and bought one 3 years ago :P I try to be an early adopter of things like this, to support the devs.

plasmab · 04 October 2017, 15:53

@alenppc indeed but @amigadude seemed perplexed that nobody wanted his money.
