Hi, That is where the economy fails the worst. Suppliers and fabricators want large quantities and not the modest ones we needed. In the beginning we could get lots of 25 powder coated, punched out and labeled chassis or PCBs. Now the same companies want a minimum of 100s. The only way we could function was to out source the builds and such to Asia. Not what we desired. We keep looking at alternatives, but nothing has surfaced yet.

Good Listening
Bruce
