Can you provide these as "build-it-yourself" kits?
If you can provide the bare board plus all the parts needed along with assembly instructions, I'd be interested in buying some of your products to put together for myself.

I love that Williams WPC external power board for 12 volt accessories. My buddy Welby Bergum usually has me wire up several led light strips on his machines so that board would be very handy for us. He's got about 100 machines in his collection (and growing daily, just got a Game Show, DE Hook, and Theater of Magic). We could buy the blank boards if they come with a shopping list for Mouser or digikey (we have accounts with them) and I could assemble them.
Quoted from DumbAss:Say "Hi" to Welby for me. Haven't seen him since he stopped contributing to the Northwest Pinball and Arcade Show.
I tested these with a hard drive power brick last night and they provide the correct voltage. I want to test these in a machine to make sure. Then I need to discuss with my friend what he wants to do. These were made for him and I don't want to infringe on his turf. We'll be meeting up in the near future. Hopefully I'll have it tested before then but otherwise we could possibly test in one of his machines.
As a reminder I do provide fully assembled (complete) boards but there is lead time as I don't want to spend time keeping stock available when I could spend time working on the next project. I will stop and build boards if there is a request for one. For these boards I will need to update my spreadsheets with BOM information and then transfer the BOM information into a table in a document. This BOM is small enough I could spend some time trying to figure out Digikey or Mouser BOM lists.
If these WPC external power accessory boards are available, Welby said he'd want ten of them. We've got a ton of WPC machines we could use them in. We make our own led light strip mods and use the original WPC power connectors and our own "Y" cables to connect them to the WPC power driver boards.

I will soon be assembling some LISY boards. Just have to wait for all of the parts to arrive from Digikey.
For me, it's just like building a Heathkit back in the day. I had fun doing that with my dad. He was a big Heathkit fan too. In fact, he was still using his hand built Heathkit equipment up till the day he died.

Don't worry too much on Fedex. My order from Digi-key (normally 4 day service) took two weeks to get to me! My package sat in Renton for three days before it got to Tacoma. Then another day to get from Tacoma to Dupont. Shortly after I had placed the Digikey order, the package spent a week in Montana. Fedex seems to be awfully slow lately.

The WPC External Power Supply board works great with both 12 volt and 5 volt accessories. It has 8 output connectors. Connectors match the WPC Power Driver board connectors J116 through J118 pinouts. This is the wall wart I use to power the board.
