Hi everyone,
First of all, I am a complete novice with almost no knowledge in electronics or the design of.
With that in mind, I am trying to undertake a project which is proving to be incredibly difficult.
A while ago, a friend and I bought a DIY phonostage PCB. It ticked a lot of the boxes I wanted, but needed a few mods to carry it over the line so to speak. My friend was happy to oblige and we carried out the mods very successfully.
After a while, I managed to persuade him to trace the circuit and let me try and turn the new schematic into a PCB.
THIS is where I'm stuck.
I have a hand drawn Valve phonostage PCB circuit and absolutely no idea how to move to the next stage. I was offered help by a leading UK HiFi manufacturer but it's been a while now and I haven't heard a peep about it. I have decided to reach out on here after seeing all of the great things you guys build and create.
I hope to offer the boards for the DIY enthusiast as I learnt loads from the project when I undertook it. I had help too but I really see the benefits of DIY.
Any help offered would be gratefully recieved.
An offer/price to do the Diagram to PCB work could be discussed too. I think this is probably more likely to yeild the best results!
Thanks
Oliver.

The circuit can't be too complex. For something so simple, FreePCB is quick to learn and use. It can, with an add-on, also generate the files necessary for PCB production.

Does it have the option to add valves into the diagram? That's where I've got stuck previously.
I can't, it's part copyrighted. Part mine, part my friends as some of the circuit is entirely his design and he sells a unit which has the same circuitry. This was part of the agreement for him to release the design to me.Could you post the schematics please?

Apologies, I hadn't realised. It didn't give me the details via Tapatalk.
Yes, FreePCB has as easy way of building new components. Ive used it for a couple of PCBs.Does it have the option to add valves into the diagram?
Had a look this morning and yes, I have no idea what I am doing lol.
Seriously, I have no idea about layers etc.
