I finished mine yesterday. I had soldered all the jacks, caps, resistors weeks ago, but had a half day of work yesterday and got the rest done in about 4 hours.
As referenced above, I found it difficult to get the LCD completely flat. I snipped the comonents unerneath as low as I could but just could not get it where I wanted it. So it is pressing against my case top...not a big deal though...I think it is just about as high as it can go without pushing on the case. I put a few layers of electrical tape underneath it to be safe nothing was shorting out.
Also the button tape trick worked out nicely.
I might fill the case test with acrylic paint to make it a bit easier to read.
Finally I must say that this was a very straighforward build with good documentation. Thanks Julian. And thank you Frank for the nice case.
