UIC still manufacturers new thru-hole machines. Both axial and radial insertion models are available. They stopped making the multi-mod dip inserters in '91 or '92. And parts are easily acquired for any older models, there were a ton of machines out

I have no affiliation with Universal other than being a customer. We use the VCD/Radial 8 series machines. We run them 24 hours a day, 6 days a week. We spend approx. 30 minutes per machine per week maintaining them. I would recommend them to anybody

The board may look the same, but there could be some differences not readily visible. Fix the other board and put it back in. Then rerun your process. If you still need help you should contact Don Burshnick at Alpha 1 Technologies. That guy is the V

Radial Leads (I've had IIs, IIIs, and Vs) do the job nicely, but they need weekly maintenance to keep them running. I don't know if you can get parts for them or not if you're not registered with UIC, but you WILL need parts for it. You will need al

Steve Thomas: Thank you for the well-written, helpful explanations. Fastek: You must be an accountant. Your advice was totally correct, but of absolutely no use whatsoever. Why even post it? I was basically told; Suprise! You are in charge of o
