Transistor Coaster PCB Production Update

Boards came in for my Transistor Coaster PCBs! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/291892408/transistor-pcb-coasters Green/lead-free HASL looks about like what I expected, but the black and gold is really pretty. I don think these pictures really do them justice, but I think the backers will be quite happy with their rewards!

Now all I have to do is ship them out, then start selling them on Tindie (or wherever). At this point I haven’t made much (if any) money on this Kickstarter as I largely used the funds to put in a bulk order that I could use as stock. With the matte black especially, larger quantities make a lot of sense, though future sales are far from guaranteed!
