Oh, US source, no.  You have to buy straight from Stephan.
But there is a guy on ebay who builds and sells them.
But you'll pay a premium.  I considered it, but I like to build things myself.

The parts scavenger hunt?  Not so much.

He just added 2708 programming to it.  Which is extremely useful.

Seems like a very useful gadget.  Any suggestions for a US source?
