Good quality parts (I opted for the Frako Golds), the different component packages are clearly labelled, no complaints here - very noob friendly. Definitely well packaged.
Nice precision round-hole IC sockets and the 4164 RAMs I received are new-old-stock TIs, not junk pulls or no-name garbage. The rocker-switch for power on/off is also NOS, it fits perfectly without the need to bend any legs, as some replacement switches require.
Be aware that the parts kit is for PAL systems, this is what I wanted so I was happy but it might be useful to others if this was noted, or if there was an option for NTSC systems.
Shipping to Canada was very expensive (and slow, blame Covid) for so small a package but he only charged his actual cost (postmarked on the package), there weren't any extra "handling" charges.
Overall I highly recommend this kit for those, like myself, who yet lack to confidence to source the parts individually elsewhere. It's also beneficial to get everything shipped from one place as opposed to sourcing from different vendors and getting bent-over for multiple shipments.
This is simply an awesome kit! The quality of the items is great and they come sorted in small bags, which makes it easy to organize the work. I also love the fact that I did not have to browse various electronics stores to get the parts together.
Perfect quality parts.
Delivery time is great and the best thing ....
All values match every part is there in the right number and you have it all there in one sole source.
Very fast delivery. I will also probably still use my time and try to make some lists to shops to be able buy parts...but ti saves you lot of time. Parts are good quality.
I must say I am delighted with this kit. great quality parts, well sources exact replacements for the original parts. I love, soldering and assembling my projects but less so the hours of searching for all the items on the BOM and the endless waiting for parts to arrive from different sources. So this is the perfect solution for me. I ordered parts kits for both my 250407 and 250466 board.
Quick delivery, great customer service as well!.
