[Coco] assembly questions?

[David Gacke]

Ya, we've been looking at getting it for my work to repair our new
boards which would be BGA.

The actual board stuffing takes place at our board house vendor.  As far
as X-Ray analysis, we're just planning on doing a functional burn-in
test to make sure they work instead.

You probably have to go thru all that for mil-spec stuff which can add
greatly to the cost of the board over just getting the board stuffed.

Dave,

$12k, that is a bargin. Ours is $85K. Not Cloud-9's either, this is a
hobby
for me. That would be my REAL job's machine.
