Homebrew PCBs

This board is an smt version of a very old and tested circuit that
was originally made with discrete parts. At least I know the circuit
works. My board design sklills are the only factor. I checked each
trace against the schematic many times. I had to cut it loose just
because I was tired of working on it.

In fact if it wasn't for my job, I'd be prototyping my own with the
HP laser printer I bought last summer.

My fingers are crossed.

PS The good news is I ordered the boards today Wednesday, and they 
are due on Friday. So there won't be suspense for too long.
