In order to keep the Phantom order thread a little cleaner, I'm opening this separate thread in order to provide assembly services.  I am willing to provide this service because I enjoy soldering, not in order to make money.  The time involved is worth more than the prices I am charging.

Terms:

You provide all parts and pay for all shipping fees.  For shipping estimates I am located in CT USA, 06483.  I will consider switch re-assembly (ie: ergo clears) if you provide all parts and a bribe.  If you want me to put your keycaps on you must provide a clear image/picture of the layout.  I don't do blank keycap sorting.

I provide assembly/soldering/testing service and all supplies required (ie: solder, flux, ...) for a fixed fee.  I can also grease the stabilizers with white lithium, please REQUEST this or it won't get done.  My validation testing consists of point to point continuity testing.  

I can provide stabilizer wire bending to spec, I have the proper sized die to make consistent bends in this size wire.

If you provide a compiled firmware I will load it to the controller.  I will inform you if there are issues loading it and you are responsible for dealing with it.  I will inform you as to whether standard layout key-testing works (ie: letters/numbers, no funky layer testing) before shipping.

I provide priority service for a fixed fee, if a priority slot is not purchased I will not artificially delay any assemblies later on the list.  Priority service is limited to a fixed quantity.  Upon completion of assembly and testing an email/PM will be sent to you with validation results.  It is up to you to respond in a timely manner so that I can then ship the unit(s) to you.  If there is no firmware involved you can request immediate shipping up front.

Priority service: (time to completion and notification of such, or immediate ship at your request)
$120 - 3 slots - Priority 1:  3 business days after receipt
$80  -  5 slots - Priority 2:  5 business days after receipt
$50  -  7 slots - Priority 3:  7 business days after receipt

$20  -  Non-priority, first come first serve (in order of finalized request via PM/email and acceptance of payment responsibilities).

$5  - Putting keycaps on the board.


My house is smoke free.  Update:  (no longer, she's deceased after 18yrs: I have 1 cat and she doesn't jump on my desk)  Current: 2 kittens, 8 weeks old, painfully cute and in training as desk/lap cats.  They have been on my lap for over 4 hours today.  Cat hair is at a minimum and I will blow off your keyboard during packing (and not with my mouth).



I hope I covered everything, feel free to ask for clarification.  I will not be posting a list of who bought what, just a list of who has accepted the above terms.


New additions:
If you are having me put together an 87-key standard board (no Cherry footprints) then please order a minimum 7" stabilizer for the space bar (STAB700).  Feel free to get the larger STAB1000 if you choose.  This will allow me the extra length to ensure a proper re-size.


SHIPPING UPDATE:  Use my username (alaricljs) as your mailing address when you update your order with shipping info.

I want to get myself in line for the "Non-priority, first come first serve"

Time to look for switches and other stuff required, since I have no prior knowledge in this, what else besides the PCB, Plate, Teensey, Casing, switches are needed

Also if we purchase a keyboard for donor switches, can we just send you the entire keyboard for that? Or do we have to provide the switches by themselves

Updated first post with stabilizer requirements.

I have 1 cat and she doesn't jump on my desk.  Cat hair is at a minimum and I will blow off your keyboard during packing (and not with my mouth).

^ I couldn't help but lol when I read this part. =P

Also if we purchase a keyboard for donor switches, can we just send you the entire keyboard for that? Or do we have to provide the switches by themselves

We could work something out if you can't or don't want to pull switches yourself.  Unfortunately de-soldering switches is even more time consuming than soldering, and it's not something I enjoy doing.

I haven't decided whether I'm actually going to spring for a Phantom yet, but if I do, I'd be very interested in soldering services for a 7bit layout board!

I'd also like to get in the non-priority line

If by keyboard condom, you mean that rubber blood guard thing... no. It didn't ship with one, and I would've removed it immediately if it had.

Everything else is in brand new condition.... leave the led's

Thank you, but I'm fine with the Led's that are in there. They don't interfere with my nightvision, they match the lights in my case, and I have no idea how to deal with resistance and all that electrical mumbo jumbo.

So do you think you'd be able to mod it to ergo clears for me?

Does anyone know of a source for PCB-mounted cherry mx green switches?

Well, I sort of expected the Phantom GB thread to cover what it is you need...  

PCB, plate, switches (min 87), diodes (min 95), 2 LEDs and 2 LED resistors (your job to get the correct value), the appropriate stabilizers for your board layout (1 size 700 or larger for space, 4 of the 200 size for the other keys).  

The LED equipment is not required for a functional board, but it would likely be a good idea.

Minor update on the cat situation and the interested parties list.

The fact that she lived to an extreme age for a cat and passed of basic 'old age' helps lessen the sorrow.  She was happy for the vast majority of her life and that's what's important.

To look on the lighter side it came at a good point for my older child as he has some difficulty with emotions and his bonding to the kitten he's decided is his own has helped us understand him and for him to learn as well.

I just placed my order for a 7bit-layout! PM me and I'll have the pieces mailed straight to you for soldering.
