Dennis;

I put a message to abcfab in the Ebay comments box when requesting
payment total that said "I was referred to you by Dennis of the Yahoo
Homebrew PCB group". send me an email - bob at fmtunerinfo.com and
I'll give him your full name/email.

BTW, here's what I meant for tube amps - these guys build them with
unclad boards and turret lugs/eyelets. Due to the tube heat, weight of
components, and transportation abuse these amps see, over the long
haul this method ends up being more rugged than using copper laminated
cladding. The guitar guys also think it's "cooler" and sounds better.
It's also good for prototyping large component assemblies, like power
supplies.

When you see what this guy charges for .125 unclad board, you'll see
why I said abcfab is such a good deal.
