I spent the day working with a friend designing a pic and place machine so we can do our own prototypes and small run smaller assembly boards (8.5 x 12).
Still don't do enough/prototype the pcbs...not much money in that stuff...
Surface mount parts have good tolerances and are running less than half the cost of thru-hole parts...
So if you don't mind surface mount we might be up to it pretty soon.
