Dale,
That is much cheaper then the place that I got the boards done at.
I just finished moving into a new place, and am visiting my parents, but when I get home next week, I will finish the layout for the new version and we can get some boards made again. They should be considerably cheaper this time.
Since pcbpro does double sided boards, I can redo the boards double sided with a ground plane.
I can prototypes made at school before I order. It only takes a couple of days to get them to make me prototypes, given gerber files. I will post details of the order. If anyone else wants to take over the order and mailing of the boards, that is fine with me. I will still make the layout, verify it with a prototype board and export the gerber files for the layout.

Hi Brian,
Check my thread on my "sale" offer. I may regret this, but I may be willing to do the ordering and mailing. Write to me off-line and we can work out details...
Best Regards,

By the way, what is the size of the "new" boards?

What about having them made here?

Pictures of boards made by Kristijan are in this thread:

Reports have it that he makes very high-quality boards.
What about boards for the X100 or Aleph-X? With preliminary schematics and layouts posted for both in the past couple of days, it seems that both of these are about ready for prime time.

Dale,
So, you are officially taking over the "ordering/purchasing/mailing" for the Aleph boards? Please keep us posted once you got the gerber file from Brian. Thanks.

Is someone going to be selling these boards again? I'm probably going to be building a couple Aleph 2s.
Hi, Dale,
I thought I would check with you on the status of the Aleph 2 PCB's.
If extras were available, I would like to purchase 4.

Hi,
Brian is going to prototype the latest layout of his ALeph board and then I will get some quotes on a run of boards. Should be soon.

Dale

Aleph 2 revised pcb update ...
I know quite a few people are waiting for this. Below is a quote from the other "Aleph X Power Buy" thread.

Hi Guys,
Brian and I are evaluating heat sinks from M&M Metals. Brian's new Aleph2 PCB layout is almost ready. Will get together a price list soon.

Dale ... Was there a group purchasing plan for the heatsinks from M & M Metals? Decided on a particular extrusion # yet? I'm curious to see the heatsinks. Your price list is for both heatsinks and boards ... and more matched FET's (from the other thread)?

Hi,
Brian has asked M&M metals for a quote on an extrusion that they do not normally stock. Of course, they will have a minimum quantity, but we may be able to do it as a group. The other items that we can get a good break on price would be the boards, transformers, and FETS.
I will contact Victoria Magnetics to get a quote on a quantity of transformers. I will also check out Plitron. With a larger order, Plitron will customize with Electrostatic shield, etc...
You already know my prices on Fets
As Brian has stated, the intent is not to make money
but to help mitigate the costs and get hard to find parts.
Best Regards,
Dale
P.S. Brian sent the layout to the prototype lab, and should have them in two weeks. If they are OK, then I will get a commercial house to make a batch.

When ordering transformers, try to get 110/220 version. Sometimes the transformer may be used for something completely different than you intended in the first place.😉
Like the ones I got from you: I was thinking about Aleph2, but now they would be perfect for AlephX; if only they had 4 primary wires, instead of 2.😉

I like the MM11645B heatsinks from M&M Metals for my Aleph 2 under construction... all 8 of them.
They were anodized black, and except for a few pits are perfect, and only 16.83 each.
I arranged them so that any defect would be on the bottom.
(I guess mine would be the clone of clone of Aleph 2... or more clones in front if I don't get it finished!)
I wish the base would have been a bit thicker, but I was able to drill and tap them without a hitch.

I'm surprised that I haven't seen more people using MM11645B as heatsinks (actually for any of the Aleph series amps). I thought they were really cheap! One could always have it cut at the longer length and it would probably just add 1 or 2 more dollars ... and still cheap.
