I had a small batch of 20 single-sided boards made by CustomPCB in Kuala
Lumpur. I was very satisfied with them, and they were a lot cheaper than I
could have got them for in the UK or Europe. The slots for a couple of
stereo connectors were rather untidy - I think they were routed manually -
but it didn't really matter as the boards were for radio amateurs to build
up themselves.
