Downgrading Time?

Okay so most people know I done my first ps3 downgrade the other week. Which took me a while considering I had to downgrade my psp for ps3jig etc.

I am having a guy come down with 3 slimline ps3's tomorrow, all nor and 3.55'able. So was wondering, how long does it take you guys to complete a downgrade? From start by striping down the ps3 to complete finish?

I can take a ps3 apart in 5 mins and I know how to do a downgrade now, just wondering what is your average time for downgrade process of a fat and slim ps3?

I would say, if you have nothing else to work on. the Three PS3 can be done within 2 Days if not one.
but give your self extra time for problem solving.
i would say a week

Strip down - 3 minutes , 16 seconds. (lol)
Downgrade process - 1 hour - 5hours depending on how quick the PS3 needs to be on 3.55 and ready to shift.
With no time pressure obligations, i could take a week or 2 to do it if wanted.
But Under your restriction of 3 PS3's, depending on how quick they need to be shifted, roughly a week or two at earliest also. Unless of course you have super-free time during the whole week lol.

still easy to do
just make sure u only take 1 apart at a time then u dont get any parts mixed up
and each console will take 30 or less minutes to do
main thing is make sure u validate the dump before flashing anything

using e3flasher takes little longer as it takes 8 minutes just to read
using proskeet with a good setup takes 16 seconds to read and under 2 minutes to flash

is it fine just to do one dump and verify it and if its okay then use that? Thats what I done on the first ps3 I done and its was okay, or do I need to take multiple dumps?
