Limited Edition RC2014 Mini After Dark Is Here!


It has taken over 3 months, but, finally, everything has fallen in to place to launch the Limited Edition RC2014 Mini After Dark.

This is the first limited edition collectors RC2014, and only 25 individually numbered kits will ever be available
And I'm sure you'll agree that this is a stunningly beautiful RC2014.

The After Dark PCB from OSHPark has black FR4 substrate, copper tracks, ENIG gold pads and a clear solder resist to really show off the layout. 

Every track has been relaid to look as good as they possibly can.
White hardware and LED have been sourced to perfectly compliment the PCB, whilst the standard IC sockets have been upgraded to turned pin sockets. A laser cut mirrored base, supported on brass PCB standoffs help show off the underside of the board too.
These kits will go on sale to the general pubic on February 2nd. However, subscribers to the RC2014 Newsletter have early access and you can buy one now from here. Please do not share this link, or publish it on social media.

I will be on holiday at the time this newsletter comes out, so kits will not ship immediately, but they will all orders will be fulfilled by February 1st.
