I am currently saved by there beeing another lot with 2 wire bonders and a tester (only half the country away) (edited)

Total crap compared to this beauty but it will be much more manageable for developing my deep hatred for manual wire bonding. . (edited)

Yes, I am really fond of the idea. I have been experimenting with it this afternoon, looked into adding ihp cmos5l support and have more planned for tomorrow.

@Essen - I also assume you saw the updated data that @Lauri is publishing for the latest CoB runs @ https://discord.com/channels/1361349522684510449/1551139741251014747

After much deliberation me and my co-driver have decided 36 hours of driving is too much and to wait for a closer lot. So you guys can fight for it 😉 https://www.govdeals.com/en/asset/15278/4788 (edited)

Shouldn't it be cheaper to get it spread onto two non-broken pallets and those shipped via regular LTL surface cargo freight forwarder?

worst case a one-night domestic round trip flight to OSU to package it up personally?

I'm sure @carlfk knows all about shipping random stuff from auctions and the issues with that
Avatar
I mean, I guess.... There's a reason we're sent out in person even if the stuff we're grabbing is already on pallets, to strap it/shuffle if needed/then see it onto the usually-though-full-load truck.... (We do logistics and minor refurb (primarily data wipe) for used enterprise IT.)

I have done the drive to OSU a bunch of times for a Python conference. 6 hours each way, would only need 1 night of hotel room, I would rather do that than fly and ship

It's not worth the effort, there are regularly wire bonders for sale, I just need to be patient and one will eventually pop up closer to where I live. 🤷 (edited)

So I tipped off people that where interested and hopefully someone will give it a better life.

( It would have been abused in my hands anyways )
