[time-nuts] TAPR Oncore M12+ kit

[Jerry Hancock]

I would mill them for the price of shipping just to help out.  It would take about 10 minutes of setup and machining for the front panel and maybe a little longer for the back.  I could do two dozen pretty quickly on a weekend afternoon.

I mill keyed BNC and DBx connectors all the time.
