If you get one with bent pins then it'll take you forever to get everything lined up and soldered. Even with all the pins straight they are a pain to solder.stephen_usher wrote: 28 Oct 2020 16:56 Yeah, just one would be enough.

I don't s'pose you know of a good source for them?
I've built four and all four will run at 50mhz for at least two hours each but with a heatsink.
Sorry only just seen this post.. I got them from here.. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001034 ... 4c4dOptuSX but @PhilC said the pins were bent.
