Hi
Built a superprobe,based on a pcb I kindly received from Ian.
The pcb was pretty easy to populate, except the resistor arrays.
Because you get these 0402 arrays only when you buy 50 or more and they are pretty much expensive I simply solderd single 0402 resistors. They a relatively small but it was doable.
Here a shot from the upper side

All the passive components were unsoldered from junkyard pcbs.
An my last junkyard visit I have not found suitable buttons, but I found a Ti Voyager calculator in working condition.So I was very happy though I did not find the items I was looking for. :)

Yikes, hand-solder 0402. Congratulations! The arrays are actually easier-to-solder 0603 :) I would have sent them too if I knew you needed them.
Another PCB code is on the way.
Thank you Ian :)
