All, 

See attached for quotes for V3 T-Board turnkey assembly (One quote from RCE, 
another from East End Assemblies, a third from Sierra Circuits), as well as a 
quote for purple cable assembly and soldering to the t-boards.

East End is the cheaper of the three PCB vendors. 

A side note, I have yet to place the order for the Nicomatic connectors, I'm 
awaiting a corrected quote from the vendor.

Flemming, 

Understood, no problem. 

I'll wait for Gerard to let me know about how many total units we expect to 
need, unless you have a number in mind.

Hi Mike,

I suggest you get quotes for the two mentioned activities. Originally SDU is 
scheduled to do part of this but if the fab of the PCBs are not too expensive 
it might be more effecient if we do this from here.

Flemming
