LOR ctb16pc kit assembly

[toymakr000]

This year I ordered 6 more CTB16PC kits for my display. So far I've built 4 CTB16D's and 2CTV16PC's for the past two years' displays. With those I assembled them one at a time, getting one done before I started another. This time I'm building all 6 kits simultaneously. I'm stuffing the parts for step 1 first into all the boards, then soldering all the step 1 connections, then moving on to step 2 and so on...

I'm hoping that I'll be more efficient this way. So far it seems easier and quicker.

What do you think about this method?

It's too late to change, I was just wondering if anyone else has assembled this way?

Since you have some experience, perhaps you will be ok doing 6 at once.

I would have built and tested one first, then built the other 5 simulteanously. I wouldn't want to make the same critical mistake 6 times. A couple years ago. I knew a person who mounted all of the triacs incorrectly and blew out his board.

I've done 6 kits already and "shouldn't" make any rookie mistakes....
Actually the last 4 I built I had Zero problems and they fired right up!!!

I build three at a time ( all the room my bench has otherwise i would do more)

Update...... 1/2 way done with all 6. Two stuffing sessions in front of the TV (45 minutes each) and two lunch-hours soldering at work;)
