EGOR testing

[Mark S. Riley]

Thanks, These guys were suggested to me as being reputable and reasonable by
some of the Detroit guys. I need to know more about how the board will be
made, hole size and placement, through or surface mount, 2 layer perferably
even if the board was 1/2 inch bigger to ask about pricing. Much easier to
design and layout. Need to do a rough layout to figure what size board will
be and then find a box that the board can be mounted in. Have to find box
first, then finish pcb design to fit.  Later, Mark
