GB for Baby Huey PCB

Hi ckwong99, Bob Lee, Kokanee and others,

I have received several PM for additional PCB, but all are gone and as I have said this was the second and last Group Buy :mad:

More than 200 PCB were produced and sold :) I didn't expect such a demand, I have made a second batch for those who missed the first one and we had more demand in this GB2, 122 PCB instead of 80 !

I will probably try to build a different amplifier in the future (with auto-bias) therefor you will have another possibility to buy my PCB...

Best regards,
Marc

Boards Received

Hi Marc,
I received the boards and they are excellent. Thank you.

However, it was a build for a family member who has just told me that he doesn't want it. No problem, but it means I have a pair of boards and almost all resistors, almost all caps and all transistors as per your BOM from Mouser. Plus the Octal sockets.

If anyone is interested on taking these off me at cost + postage, please PM me.

Cheers
John

Marc,

I received the boards and parts that I bought from fbjohn. I thank you for organizing this GB and all the design work you have accomplished. It will be some time until I can build, as I am in process of building a new house the year.

Regards,

Myles
 
Hello,

As there is still a regular demand for the EL34 Baby Huey PCB which is being built in a lot of different tubes versions and since I have said that I could not make more GB, I have found a solution that may please future builders...

Having been very happy with the CRC Power Supply board that I have bought from " prasi " last year, I asked him if he would accept to offer the EL34 Baby Huey PCB for future GB and he kindly accepted :)

Therefor, if you are still interested and if there is enough volume prasi will be nice enough to take care of the next GB, he will indicate the price soon and I am pretty sure that it will be the same or even lower than the previous GB, since it will be produced in Asia and not in Europe :D

Long life to the EL34 Baby Huey PCB...

Best regards,
Marc

Thanks Marc,
Very kind of you to have given me the opportunity and glad to help out.
I will get a price estimate for the PCBs with following specs. I am thinking a minimum of 100 qty to keep the prices to the indicated level as below.

Option 1 :2.4 mm thick FR-4, green mask, HASL, white silk. Let me have some opinions from those interested in getting the PCBs. with these specs, we can keep the cost to around 5-6USD per piece.

Option 2: 1.6mm thick , green mask, ENIG with white silk will be quite a bit costly here, probably due to the fact that Indians love hoarding gold and not give away any!:D, so ENIG might go upwards of 10 USD.

Option 3: 2.4 mm thick FR-4, green mask, ENIG, white silk. Will be super costly, may be around 15 or more.

I will let it be known here, the pricing for each of the options. One that gets most counts/ votes, will be the winner.

Shipping and paypal would be additional and will depend upon location and qty of PCBs requested.

For making any GB and for convenience, it is always best to start with a list.

e.g. prasi 2 PCBs (preference option1)
So request those interested to make list as above with preferred option and we can take it further.

Regards
prasi
