[sdiy] Future SYNTH-DIY/perfboard

[Steve Lenham]

A bit ironic, given the starting point of this thread, but I've been 
enthusing recently about the new stripboard that Farnell have introduced 
(p/n 475-5352 in the UK) - it's tinned, yet cheaper than the untinned 
version.

All the stripboard I've previously used has been untinned and has usually 
formed a nice thick oxidised layer by the time I come to use it - forget to 
use the wire wool before populating and an extended soldering experience is 
guaranteed :-(

It looks much more professional when finished and, of course, doesn't 
oxidise afterwards either.

It's the little things that bring true pleasure...
