I got caught that way once with 4N33s. In that case the pins were wrong on the schematic object and so the layout was wrong. Expensive mistake.

Here's a picture of progress so far. Just needs LEDs, ICs in sockets, 470pF, 1uFd 250V on bottom along with transistors and voltage regulator. Already the circuit boards weighs an extra 150 grams.

Now to make a list of what parts are missing for the rest of the boards.

Looking forward to trying it out.

Thanks. I'm only sticker inner person. You did all the work.

BTW, I've requested a price quote from www.thermoflo.com for 6.5" lengths of their E1197 heatsink extrusions. It's 5" wide and looks like it may be perfect for the HP-UHU.

Hi everybody !

I just got the parts from Reichelt.de and just found that the copper boards have 35 micro meter of copper on them not the 75µm claimed in the parts list, and after verification Reichelt.de sels only 35µm copper boards what ever the kind.

Thanks !

Hello John;

Did you get that price quote?

Thanks,

Kreutz

Not yet. I'll follow up on Tuesday. I've been away for a few days. And work-work has gotten in the way.
