Not only is it overpriced for a non working x0x, look at the terrible soldering and sloppy part placement. Looks like a 6th grade project. There also apears to not have any standoffs and is missing one of the support wires for one of the encoders. Look at the picture with the pannel on too... the knobs are placed on the pannel and not even attached. Ghetto to the fullest.... poor b0x

terrible, also looks like a child built it, if you study the pics, the resistors are very sloppy, then theres all those loose wires and even a strap missing from one of the greyhill rotarties, i'd pass on this lemon if you are foolish enough to be tempted

:shock:

I just made an offer for $1.00.

I'm only after the alu panels... Given the state of the PCB, it looks like it would be really difficult if not impossible to get it to work.

Wow, what's with all those loose wires? What would be wrong with using jumper leads instead?

It's seeing projects like this that make me scared to start building my XOX!

Actually, seeing projects like this should give you CONFIDENCE!!!

It is not that hard, the guy who built this one must have been drunk, or blind, or both :shock:

I wouldn't be suprised if one or more of those resistors are touching...

What ever happened to taking pride in your work... bloody hell!

whoever built this x0x should be shot!! What a disgrace!!!!!

I like this:

"A student at the Milwaukee School Of Engineering put together, didn't get it to work and set aside."

...and shortly thereafter changed to a biology major.

I didn't even realized it was in WI. Heh. I guess MSOE isn't all that great at teaching basic electronics if he couldn't figure it out. Shoulda had me build it, at least mine works! =o]
