PCB for Audio innovations 500.

[sharkey22]

Hi folks, I have recently bought an Audio innovations series 500 amp. The main power supply and power amp board has been well and truly toasted and I think the best way to approach repair would be to start with a new PCB.
Could any kind soul make me a PCB, I have the (very simple single layer) design ready to go as a publisher document and will of course be willing to pay for time and materials etc. I can drill it myself should there be any volunteers. I am in East Sussex, UK.

Can you provide dimension of the board and the layout of the pcb?

Hi JPR_PT thanks for your reply and kind offer of assistance. The board is 205mm x 73mm. I have attached the layout (reversed). It is in pdf format. I hope this is OK. Holes are all 1mm.

I am away from my PC until next Sunday.

Actually 0.8mm is probably better for the holes. I can drill and open them out as required.

Sorry jpr,

I have just assumed that you can make me a board, maybe you just wanted the design. If so apologies for my poor assumption and please feel tree to use the design if you need it yourself. I presume from your name and avatar that you are in Portugal??

I use negative pcb film. I need an inverted image. I'm going to test inverting the image you sent me on my pcb software.
Just a note - PDF usually is not a good base for a pcb layout. It can have dimensioning errors that affect the final result.
I'll let you know this wekend about the results

 

[sharkey22]

The image is already reversed.

If you open the pdf then print it "original size" it should be 205mm x 73mm. The 2 crosses are the centres for the mounting holes. They are 4mm diameter. As mentioned in my previous post the image i uploaded is already inverted. Good luck i hope it works ok.
Regards ian.

Why need a pcb.
Just make thing hardwired.

Hi,ADVR, I am using a pcb to keep it near to original. PCB has been made and I am very close to having a working amp once more. Hard wiring may make marginally better sound and offer space for different component choice but is a huge amount of fiddly work for the same result. Thanks for the photo though.

hi, by now all pcb's are gone...everything hardwired...
