I'm checking with the PCB manufacturer what is the next price break and if I can order an odd number of PCB, let say 60, to meet Walter and Grufti last requests.

I'll keep you updated. Bye...

Hi, You need to update the total on DanFrank to 6. Thanks.

Dear Algar,

Any chance of sharing your gerber files with us all? I remember Emile did posted his gerber files up in his site before. just wondering

Algar_emi · 2009-09-16 10:17 pm

Emile was the original designer. I was his choice. This PCB design is mine, but not the circuit design, which is still Emile own. I choose not to share the Gerber because of this rather delicate situation, since Emile granted access to his design ONLY for non commercial use. I cannot guaranty this myself if I disclosed my Gerber, so I keep it private for this reason. Sorry.

Price break news.
The next price break is 1$ less for 75 pieces. Next quantity break is 100, at 2.75$ less. Not a big difference. They told me that they are manufacturing about the same 100 PCB big plate anyway. Difference is in cutting, quality control, shipping, etc...

So I'll take order up to 75 PCB, at 24$ each. If I don't sell the last few right away, I'll certainly sell them within a few months. I'm waiting for your order. Thanks...

As for the PCB price, I'll ask for a quote this week, and let you know. Last PCB run was about 27.50$ and I asked 30$ each + 3% PayPal fee and actual shipping cost.

You will get a much better price if you get the PCB's made in China.

My last batch from China were a third of the price I could get in the UK and that included import duty.
£21 each in the UK and £7 from China.

Ebay has a few Chinese manufacturers on it.

No problem! I respect your decision!

habsrock93 · 2009-09-17 2:46 am

I'll take 2

Thanks

habsrock93 send me a private message with your complete contact info: Username, Name shipping address and private email where I can reach you. Don't forget I'll accept only PayPal payment. Thanks...

No more request for now. It seems I can proceed and order 75 PCB, and hope that I'll sell them in the future. I'll probably place the PCB order this week. So after these 75 PCB, there won't be anymore. That would be your last chance to get some. I may reserve a few for myself as well.

So I'll start sending you guys request for payment this week as well.

Algar_emi · 2009-09-24 1:12 am

Still 15 boards available.

athos56 · 2009-09-24 5:54 am

do you still have to cut the trace mentioned in the pdf on http://basenjes.de/tubes/data/sb/ShuntRegManual_With_SB Notes.pdf ?

difool · 2009-09-24 6:44 am

Do you mean this Post 36 and 37 , yes, it is corrected.

Greetings.
difool

Algar_emi · 2009-09-24 4:18 pm

Indeed, my version of the PCB is all corrected and has none of the original error in it. Also, take note it doesn't support in this form the original OPA655 (that use pins 5 and 7 on the DIL8 package) but the more usual OPA656.

Algar_emi · 2009-09-24 9:56 pm

Some express concerns that they didn't receive any payment request yet. Don't worry. I'm on the road for work this week, working very long days and not having a lot of free time. I'll send request for payments on friday evening.

Thanks...
