I'm about to send our for mono boards that I layed out (2nd turn). Not for stand alone use like the original ACA Mini but for a small chassis with conventional heat sinks and connectors. It's only boards and I won't get them back for a few weeks. Let me know if interested and I'll shoot you the details. I won't be able to use every pair. FWIW, I have the original ACA Mini and liked it so much I decided to do this.
@Mikerodrig27
I have one set (Almost Clone board & FETs) available. PM if you want it.
Also, Mark Johnson helped me upload the ACA Mini "Almost Clone" Gerber files to my JLPCB account. If there's enough interest I can run another batch any time. If interested please PM me. Let's not clog this thread with responses.

Hey Kevin, thank you. I am getting a kick out of the little mono board designs so I am going to give those a shot. I ordered 10 Stasis front end boards from JLCPCB and they were very good quality.

Sorry, I am also interested in the offer from Kevin. And because he wanted we should not clog this thread, I've sent him a PM already before nicoch58 asked for one.
What happens now, Kevin?

This is where I pull the rabbit out of the hat. I actually have 2 boards + FETs. They will go to @nicoch58 and @Franz Gysi. That's it though, they're gone, and we're done.
Inspired by Kevin, I want to do something nice for a change. I have a prototype of Mark's Almost Clone board that he generously sent to me to play with. It is the Dec 2021 iteration right before the Jan 2022 board was released. Too many projects have gotten in the way so I haven't had time to get to it.
I'll mail it along with a couple of Toshiba 2SK170 to one lucky diyAudio member. Sorry, I don't have any 2SJ74 to send. Also, continental U.S. only. If more than one person is interested I'll draw a name out of a hat. Please let me know via PM so we don't clog this thread.

The original thread was: (link) .
Here is what the Dec 2021 board looks like. Notice the color and the big text letters on the back side.

IMPORTANT note to the recipient of the prototype board:
The pots operate in the opposite direction to those on the green REV A boards or Nelson’s original boards.

I was planning to inform the winner via PM. Also, it's clearly marked on the board I have.
No takers so far. If I don't receive interest by the end of the weekend, I'll offer them on Swap Meet.

I bought two 2nd Gen boards from Kevin. I built one and it is fantastic! (Thanks Kevin!)
Before building the 2nd one I decided to lay out my own mono version of the design. That means I now have one Almost Clone board that needs to go to a good home. I'll gladly part with it for my cost + shipping. Please PM me if interested.

News is that DIY management has decided to put kit into the store, essential and completion.
Essential is pcb + semis.

I'm interested in the almost clone board. What would the final cost be? I'm in morrisville north carolina if that helps figure out the shipping.
