P112 kits for sale

Ture, but the way to overcome these fears is to have a go. You wil lnever learn new skills if you don't try things. If all kits haev the 'difficult' bits done dor you, you'll never learn to do it. What do toy do if you've build a P112 kit and one of the SMD devices fails? You're goign to have to desodler it and solder in a new one then, I guess. I rememebr the first SMD device I fitted. It wwas the I/O contorlelr IC in a Ahrp PC1500 pocket computer, at a time when the PC1500 was not a 'classic computer'. It had failed, and I managed to buy a replacement form the sercvice agents. I worried a lot about doing it, until I tried. Then I foudn how easy it was. of course threre's SMD and SMD, some compoennts being larger and/or have a coarser lead pitch than others. But jsut about anything (otehr than BGAs) can be hand soldered. -tony
