Keeps on digging
I thought that the large shiny letters would have been a dead give away as to the designation of the board.. ;).
it was basically a blank card with no tracks on the back, components had to be identified and connected in the correct orientation, soldered and then checked under a microscope for signs of contamination or pitting in the solder.
the wire connections were determined by the current or supply to be applied, heavier current and vibration concerns needed more robust connections.
Watched a lot of car hifi videos from the US too, why can’t they pronounce solder properly...? They can send a man to the moon, but too many letters and they give up. First it was the U, now they are after the poor L...

Old and hopeless
In the 70’s, I started ICT with the PMG (pre Telecom Australia) and they had specialist training schools for everything... and we did all sorts of soldering courses, even heaven forbid, lead wiping. When not at uni, I spent a lot of my early training years, and later on as a TO, attached to a soldering iron.

LTIL - Good customer service.

Bought some Project 321 hubs from Cyclinic last year. For some reason one of the magnetic pawls dropped its magnet, fortunately not causing any internal damage to the hub. Hit up Cyclinic via e-mail Thursday morning with what had happened and what I needed, and about 40 minutes later got an e-mail back saying they would ExpressPost me replacment pawls and fresh freehub oil. All went well, parts arrived yesterday, cleaned out the hub, now all is well - back together and perfect engagement again!

Kudos Cyclinic.

Just received a wrong number text about why his/her son/daughter (didnt google) wasnt picked for the team. Was very tempted to do a James Veitch and respond with some comment like it was foretold in the prophesies or my invisible friend said no etc but just texted back wrong number. Piss poor from me really.

Upstanding citizen of the week there Mr Cannon!

You could really have messed with someones mind there or got someone in some real trouble - might have been fun if you could have stayed in the loop.
