The show was as busy as I have ever seen it. I got to catch up with vendors and customers who have become friends, also meet and put faces to a number of people whom I knew only through e-mail.

Now that I am back in the shop, I have been updating the Stock List. As production of chips moves more to surface mount, I figure that SOIC-To-DIP adapters will be wanted. Those are now in stock in 8-, 14- and 16-pin. Please drop a message to the smallbearelec address with suggestions for what else in this line would likely be popular.
There was a thread awhile back about ways to easily store and dispense wire. I got the corrugated boxes for this and will post shortly.
Nice pics, Steve.
Are the SOIC-to-DIP adaptors pre-tinned? I would imagine they'd be more tempting for the timid if it was a simple matter of sweating the flat chip into place.

I don't know, and I am going to find out by learning myself how to use these puppies. I'll start by buying a bunch of LM3046 that I know are wanted (especially in the synth world) and only available in SMD now. Will advise.
