US ADR1000 small group buys...

[martinr33]

I would like one, or maybe two, of these but am discouraged by the MOQ of 5.

I'd guess with shipping and tax they would end up around $75 each (a bit less for more than one in a box).

So who wants/needs one. I am not looking to get a group buy of many more than 5 or so at a time, but we can get a few small spenders together.

We could probably also so with a burn-in PCB design. Or maybe we just use 3458A boards, a likely target once the software mods are completed.

I was thinking exactly the same (a few units), but I am in Taiwan. Good idea about sharing PCBs, Cellularmitosis did a nice 3458a clone years ago.

Edit:

Burn-In PCBs:

How about adding a TO-5 Socket too?  Was it TE 8058-1G32 the LTZ1000 socket?

I would be interested in buying two.
