[WTB] Keyboard building service in Northern California
« on: Wed, 25 October 2017, 23:11:07 »
Hey guys! I have a keyboard kit and would like to find someone with lots of soldering experience and better tools than my $20 soldering iron to solder my keyboard for me. Preferably this person will be located in Northern California and we can hang out while it's being built.

I can pay any method since we are meeting in person (cash, venmo, paypal etc). Please PM me your prices and location and past work, if available, regarding custom builds and soldering jobs.

Thank you so much!  ;D

Swtiches will already be lubed & sip socketed
Screw-in stabilizers will be lubed already as well

Let me know what other information you need  :)

Not local to you, but Dana @ https://studiosofthewild.com/wp/ does excellent, meticulous work.  I sent some switches to him for lubing after I tried a board he prepped and realized I didn't have the skill or patience to produce such nice switches.

I'm in the Bay Area and could do that for you.  I would prefer the switches be ready to go because of the time it takes to lube each one. I have all Hakko gear and can do 603 SMD by hand not pretty but I can do it. I can send pics of previous work if needed.

Cool. Can you PM me details. Switches will be ready to go and PCB has all SMDs soldered already.
