I basically gave up and built my own assembly line....  It's sad when 
it's cheaper to buy all the equipment (used) needed to do the assembly 
yourself than to outsource it.

Just curious, what type of pricing were you getting for the assembly 
costs for the USBprog?   Right now, we're hand placing, but I have been 
thinking about getting a P&P place machine to be able to pick up some of 
these low-end production run type of jobs, and keep the line busier than 
a few hours a month.
