I've got an Issue 7 board that has every single IC in a socket, and every 
socket and component is hand soldered, as you can tell the difference 
between a flow soldered board and one that's been assembled with a soldering 
iron.

Were Beebs ever available as kits? Or would that be an engineering test 
assembly for the Issue 7 board?

Mark.
