So I just stumbled upon this, and very excited. Artem even got a source of the rare Intel 1404a shift registers! Not an easy feat.
So I have to ask, has anyone gotten one of these kits built and running? How does it work? Has anyone tried to get PCBWay to make up a case? I suspect they must have to charge at least $600 or more for these low quantity cases. Anyone get a price quote? I always thought that if the sheets were laser cut, bending and painting them wouldn't be terribly hard, and may be a fun project.

Welcome Thomas! It's good to see you here. I believe you were the one that created the reproduction PCB? I couldn't find any other options out there and the PCB is very good quality. And no, I didn't find a source of Intel 1404A shift registers - I just happened to find a batch of them on the marketplace, luckily, and thought others would find use for them.
