[Coco] Is there a modern replica CoCo for sale?

[Rocky Hill]

 Nice to met you too!
Well, populating can be a pain but if you are using surface mount components it's usually easier and cheaperto use an assembly service. For the PEPPER and Daiquiri boards I used only surface mount components from JLCPCB's inventoryand I made sure to design the boards with components on only one side.. JLCPCB manufactures in batches of 5.
The CoCo 3 board is a different story because I copied the original board as best I could so that meant using allthrough hole components. Realizing that people may not want to solder, I started working on a CoCo 3 board that will mostlyhave surface mount components making it easier and cheaper to build. I'm also adding some imrovements and I call it the CoCo++

Oh, hey! Nice to "meet" you. I didn’t know the name behind the YouTube handle.

Do you know of service that will build and populate PCBs?
