Will be on the website late tonight!

But, there will only be 19 kits and not 20 as Mouser shorted me some resistor packs.

On a side note: Bourns 4600 resistor packs have a lead time of > 52 weeks. The 5 pin 1k ohm resistor packs have an expected date of October 2012 (yes, 2012!) on Newark.com... So I have 500 of them coming from overseas. Ouch.

When they arrive the price of the kits may go up 50 cents to a dollar depending on how much they gouge me on shipping. Right now the price is unchanged.

OK,

Shipping wasn't too bad considering the # of kits that can be built with 500 of 'em... The price won't be going up.

Also, since I had 'em waiting on those resistor packs, I built 3 more kits and put 'em on the site.
 
As these kits do not seem to be available anymore, is it ok to ask what they contained and what issues with the board they were ment to fix?

Are you going to pretend that the 1k value isn't mostly arbitrary....

Boy, you really are grasping at straws here trying to start something.

The factory that made them was damaged in the earthquake/tsunami that hit Japan and was offline for many months. That value of resistor pack was unavailable from all their distributors in the USA with a lead time of 10 months.

That is why I bought them from the UK and had them shipped to Texas.

Yes, I could've replaced it with some other close value but decided to keep it as original as possible.

You can make the kits your self... It's just sockets and resistor packs. You can get the values off the boards yourself. It's a simple process.
