I think Sprint does not have this option. excuse
Yes, Sprint does.
RS274-X format Gerbers are what most PCB manufactures require.
Click>File>Export>Gerber Export
When the Gerber Export box pops up, Click the white boxes next to C2-copper bottom, S1-silkscreen top, O-outline and C2-soldermask.
Instead of leaving all files with a .gbr suffix like you did and Sprint does by default, take your mouse and manually change each file's suffix to what I have above.
If this seems too difficult, then can you please just attach the Sprint .lay file to your next post?
Thanks.
Sorry I'm late. Make sure it is correct.
No problem with being late.
After loading your file into Sprint and looking at it, right off it looks to me as though your volume pot's inner and outer connections are reversed.
You have the pot's input connections going to ground and vice versa.
Since you have the inputs on both sides of the board, I'm not sure how you're going to connect the volume pot's terminals correctly with a single layer board.
I added a top(blue) trace just to show you how the one pot terminal should connect to your left side input.
I'll let you figure out how you're going to do it with a single layer board.
Your 12AU7 pad holes are way too small at 1mm. Tube socket terminals are much larger.
Instead of placing pads directly on top of your ground plane, you should make those pads thermal pads.
Soldering pads attached directly to a ground plane can be a real PITA to solder since so much of your soldering iron's heat will be absorbed by the ground plane.
You can load my file into Sprint and see some of the changes I made to your layout.
I made several that I didn't point out above.

Thanks
You're welcome.
Power ground and audio ground should only connect in one place only. I noticed you added another jumper connection for some reason.
The holes in the trimmer pot pads can easily be reduced to .7mm from 1mm like I did in the version I posted.
I would increase the i.d. of the mounting holes slightly to 3.1mm(assuming 3mm screws will be used) just in case the board house uses a drill on the lower side of tolerance.
Looking better though.
Thanks for the Gerbers.
He didn't post the updated Gerbers.
