Has anyone got any more details on the device pictured in http://tinyurl.com/5ept8e
- the original site appears to be down, and the wayback machine is
having trouble retrieving the site... It looks build-able, if only
more details (the chemistry being used, the times, the temperatures
of
the baths, etc.)

Looking at http://tinyurl.com/6r38ro it seems that powdered graphite
is a reasonable first stage for preparing the board for copper-
plating, and it's a happy side-effect that the drill rubs the
graphite
into the hole when it withdraws from the hole.

Alternatively, anyone had any experience with the LPKF 'contac rs' or
'miniContac rs' machines ? And how much were they ?

Cheers,
Simon
