I would like to find a manufacturer that can make high quality printed circuit boards, I was getting the from a company in the North-East but they haven't been able to provide them for me...........I have a copy to go by.......THANKS

I’d be more than happy to help, Will. If it’s the original Dynaco circuit, with the original eyelet inputs, I can email him a Dynaco manual and a picture of the original board layout and he can pretty much take it from there. The only data I’d need from you is is what tube you use in place of the 7199 and any changes you might have made. I’d also need the outer measurements of the board and the spacing of the mounting holes, but I can get those from any ST-70 replacement board. Florick is very experienced with tube circuits and will know what to do to make a nice, sturdy board. You can approve the design and I can order the boards from China for you. They cost, like $3 each. I could order a few and you can try them out. I’m right next door in Southern Oregon. No need to raise your blood pressure! ;-) If they don’t work out no harm done.

Believe me, the Williamson boards he designed for me are wonderful. They measure beautifully and are dead quiet, no ground loops, no issues at all. I love them. I was in the same spot as you, thinking how in the world could I get this accomplished, and in fact it was incredibly easy.

I’m semi-retired myself but my wife still works full-time and this sort of thing keeps me out of her hair.

The biggest trouble i'm in at the moment is I'm two months behind, and am quickly losing my enthusiasm for this project, all over a 10.00 PCB.......I'm not sure its worth it anymore........I just got 10 boards from Serbia, and they are not usable, very poor quality..........I'm going think about for the week end and make so real choices.........Will  

I can see your dilemma.  Let me know if I can be of assistance, even just to put you in touch with this fellow.  He works pretty fast and it would cost a fraction of what you cited above, and far less than buying boards from these other sources in the long run.  At any rate, keep us posted.  A lot of us admire the great work you've over the years to keep the tube culture alive and thriving.

Sir:    Do you know of anyway or if its possible to copy another "New" board....If you can find out I would send him the only board I have to copy.....I know thats not the way it normally works but its a chance...........If I can just send him the board I have........Will

Well, I believe he's in the Netherlands, so sending the board would be a bit of a pain.  And I'm not sure he could do an exact replica.  But I think if you sent him pictures of the current board so he can see the layout and maybe even the traces, he could do his best to duplicate it.  I will send you a private message with his email.
