I can bring some of my TFT/VFO PCB's that can be used with the BITX40. I sell them for $8, but since I won't have to ship them, I can sell them for $5. Let me know if I should bring some. It changes the display to this:
The SW? fields at the top are for up to 50 "canned" CW messages and are tied to NO push button switches...very useful during contests. (They can be cahnged at run time.) SW1 is set to message 1, which is shown at the bottom of the display. The V field is supply voltage, WPM is for the built-in keyer, and GEN:CW means that the current frequency is ok for General class CW. An off-board RTC can be added, but it's not part of the board. The PCB is bare, but looks like this:
An AD9850 fits on the left and a Mega 2560 Pro Mini sits on the right. Pins not used by the VFO or the display are brought out to the header pins shown...perfect for experimenting.

I used the image again for ease of getting the message across, will delete after Jan 6 to free up space.
Since there will be a heavy presence of BitX40's and ?BitX's converging in on Morristown Hamfest on January 6, 2018, at the Builders Fest, I am sure there will be just as keen an interest in some of the add on boards, mods, cases, what have you's that some of you on this talk group provide for sale or even just for the sake of sharing, either way, if you have any interest in your STUFF being at the Builders Fest in any Fashion, contact me, KM4YEC, we would like to see it there, too. We are going to roll out the Builders Fest info in the next few days. So, if you have any interest contact me soon.
