I don't think we have any NF1s though- if you have any of those (even under-performing or damaged) we'd gladly send a little BTC.
I take it you mean 'official' NF1s? Otherwise, there's plenty of clones. If you have a BitFury chip floating around (and with blades going for pennies on the dollar, you can have dozens for cheap), you could easily make your own using the open source designs 
Slightly off-topic for this thread, but perhaps you should make a list (in a thread or on your site) of what gear you have and what gear you're seeking. I'm only missing a few (excluding clones) off my StickMiners thread, myself - but have few duplicates.
How sweet would it be if I posted something tomorrow about how I had a two-chip string pushing 20GH or whatever?
That would be pretty sweet. I'm surprised the veritable plethora of caps couldn't deal with the transient current though - just how transient is it? Not that there's anything wrong with the KISS approach.
