I am involved in a university research project for which we need 50 PCBs
made and populated. The boards are two-sided, silkscreened on one side,
through-hole, and about 200 components (includes ICs, SIP and DIP resistors=
,
LEDs, 7-segment LEDs, 40-pin ZIF, etc).

We had the last batch manufactured in China about two years ago, but their
price is now up by about 60%. We also had a 35% failure rate out of the box
(less than quality parts, excessive heat, untrimmed leads, .) so they are o=
n
the experienced, but last-resort, list.

I seem to recall that sometime over the past few years someone posted about
a mfr in NY that seemed to do pretty good work at a reasonable price (may
have even been populating by hand), and another in North Carolina.
Unfortunately, I neglected to save that information.

Not a great rush, but we need 50 by mid-May for our summer classes.

I would appreciate knowing who you think is doing a good job for a
reasonable (not cheap) price.

Thanks,
