As a small contract manufacturer, we receive alot of components that aren't
machine placeable from our customers.  I'm looking into the possibility of
putting the components on tape and reel in-house.  Any feedback on vendors
for this equipment and the feasability/cost effectiveness of doing this
would be appreciated.  Should I even consider it or just send parts out?

Thanks in advance,
