Wirewrapping is expensive, not the tools itself but the cost of the IC sockets (with wire-wrap turned-pins) is going to kill you. However, it is very reliable and I trust it more than soldering which gets exponentially trickier as your pin count grows. If you insist, check out RS International or Farnell both from the UK but has world-wide operations. I think UK PICers can provide you with the contact number. >Our students are interested in doing Microcontroller >based projects. >Since the time available for the project is limited, a >simple batch >of students may not be able to end up with a finished, >well proven >product.
