They fit!!

Laser-cut cardboard stencil jig. Hmm… hmm. So close.

NEVER MIND THAT. Cardboard bits instead!!

It went… okaaaaay. I had to redo most of them a bunch of times. The cardboard was a lot thicker than the PCB, so way too much paste got through! I’m also using scavenged vintage capacitors because I still haven’t ordered any new ones 🤣

Getting there… I hope this works #vintageComputing

This didn’t melt the solder at ALL. I had to manually set the oven to 240°C to get it to work. Package says 180°C but… Aliexpress. Also, maybe the oven needs recalibrating! (Vevor *and* hacked firmware 🤣)

Let’s test them!! In a IIci of course!!

Honestly shocked… all four simms worked, first go! 64MB!!
