About a year ago, I talked with two friends interested in being able to run real pick-and-place machines ourselves here in the USA. So we bought a used line (we're at least the third owners) of mostly mid-90s Citizen pick-and-place machines.

We are starting to run without the red lights on the towers coming on :)


Adafruit has been manufacturing in US/NY/Manhattan of all places for almost 15 years now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDeiO-k6GME


Indeed, one of the success stories that convinced me/us that it's possible to do here without having to charge aerospace/medical/defense prices!
