Hello everyone!  I'm just toddling along with my build.  The major problem so 
far has been fixing the bail to the bottom panel!  What a beast!

Anyway, it occurs to me (and has often occurred to me) why do we have to reform 
the pins on ICs?  How come they aren't manufactured the "right" shape?  I go 
into ESD-panic mode every time I have to re-form them and some have been a 
complete pain to match up to their socket.

Anybody got a fool-proof, first-time technique for this?

(Having spent six months studying the manual before starting has distinct 
advantages by the way....)

Regards to all,      Pete, g0pks.
