Somebody was asking about good assemblers in the SF Bay area.

Their web site isn't impressive, but these guys are great, any
quantity. BGAs and such, too.

Thanks! Family biz since 1965, that's right up my alley, love it. I just
wonder where they get 0405 parts :-)

I've had good experience with W.D.Burch in L.A. (also a family biz) and
for really small proto runs AAPCB in Colorado.

They tell me that business is slow. That makes them a cross assembler.

No, they would add capacity and become a macro assembler.

It's always better to use a native assembler otherwise you would need
an interpreter...

And if they raked in enough in campaign contributions they would become
the state assembly.

And if they could get a bill through in one try they'd be a one-pass
assembler.

If they're in China, they would be an off-shore assembler. If in
working by the piece (or the Mafia), a contract assembler...
