It's not that easy to get everything into one picture, sveral is needed, 
besides the fact that the PCB is double-sided. The cores is fairly smal 
and the rubber fittings that holds them makes it harder to take a good 
photo. It takes time to make quality photos that is useful for the purpose.

I'll see what I can do, but I think I would prioritze other things.

Cheers,
Magnus
