Homebrew PCBs

A couple of thoughts and guesses:

I totally agree with the poster who offered that the "board" looks like perforated board (i.e. point to point wiring) not a printed circuit board.  That strikes me as totally consistent with both the date of the design and the "one up" nature of these kind of projects. 

The other thought is to post your question on some ham/amateur radio newsgroup.  I bet you will have better luck, maybe finding someone that owns one.

I expect he may have already posted in some groups dedicated to ham radio.

I think what he is saying, is that this was built using the PCB pattern for a bridge rectifier board in the 1982 and 1985 ARRL Handbook, and he is looking to restore it as it was originally built, as it carries some emotional content for him.

There must be a library somewhere that has older editions?

I have the 1991 edition, which I bought from a library clearing out old
books, a long time ago now. The library I got it from is notoriously bad
for keeping 'old crap', yet they didn't want to keep the ARRL Handbook.
Maybe it's because it only meets one of their criteria - it's old, but it
ain't crap!

Well, I got 1965, 1979 & 1989 editions but unfortunately not the years he is
looking for.

Hi, 

I have the 95 edition and it has the pcboard pattern for a HV power supply.
I can see the same pattern in the 92 edition.

 

Give me your e-mail address and I will send you the scan of the pattern.

I have the book (1985 ed.) - but a computer crash left me with no 
scanner/computer hookup (getting back there, but slowly).  I can COPY 
them and send by snail mail, if he'll send me an address off line.

Steve,

Yes you are correct, when it was originally built, the PCB design was from the ARRL handbook, he decided to use that over a point to point perforated board, im just trying to restore it the way he built it, not exactly to the PDF version.

Thankyou all for your answers and post, I have posted in a few ham groups and amplifier groups too but no response yet, failing that ill have to hit a few local libraries.... 

cheers

Kevin
