New production run of Elmo AEK II USB aek2_usb PCBs boards for AEKII

Thanks to posts in https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=94144.50 alerting me to the existence of Elmo's excellent AEK II USB boards (https://github.com/kb-elmo/aek2_usb), I am now getting another run of these boards made.

The replacement PCBs will be BLUE (Elmo's original run were black) and RoHS compliant.

Costs will be:
* Bare board: $9.83 plus actual shipping. This is at-cost to what I pay. (This includes NO components, you bring your own)
* Full DIY kit: $24.70 plus actual shipping. This includes ALL required components— the microcontroller, socket, diodes, resistors, caps, etc. Includes everything else on the parts list from https://github.com/kb-elmo/aek2_usb. Keyswitches and keycaps NOT included, obviously!)

Quantity for the first run is limited to 25.

I am also enquiring with a local PCB manufacturer about pricing for pre-assembled boards with all the diodes etc. already soldered on for you; just add keycaps. This will be hella posh and priced accordingly. It may prove too expensive to be worth doing.
