I've got one. Shoot me a PM.

Nobody has an extra one???

Would you like a photocopy or detailed picture with measurements so you can overlay on a Perf bored and do some point the point and just lay down your own traces or wire . I have a set I have not populated the board yet sitting on my shelf. Unless you must have a board I know it is much easier and convenient . My first attempt at a Purf board but without a template just by Eye was pretty messy . But it was a good learning experience .

Thanks guys! I really like using a board for aesthetics. PM sent

Thermal, thanks for the pics! I have one on the way from Nathan. I may try a perf board version just for kicks.

I did a little writeup for Reddit that you might find useful. There's a copy quoted here:

I'll drop it off at the post office today, it'll go out in the morning. Tracking here:

[kickngas]

Got the tracking info, and the links are a great help! Time to start ordering parts, thanks!!!

Hi

Anyone selling a SSMH PCB with shipping to Germany (PayPal) or are does anyone have the Eagle-Files so I could etch the PCB on my own?
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Nestade

Does anyone have any more of these left? I live in the USA. Thanks!

I was looking at your BOM, and for C3a and C5a, you used film capacitors. However, on the schematics for the 12au7 version, it says to use electrolytic capacitors. Was this a mistake or was it intentional? Thanks!

 

[Nathan P]

Definitely intentional, but are you sure about that? C3a/C5a are bypasses for C3/C5 which are electrolytics. I'dI be strange to bypass an electrolytic with another electrolytic. Also, 0.22uF is a smaller value than most modern electrolytics come in.

In general I don't use electrolytics with values lower than 2.2uF or so. Films are superior in every aspect.

 

[Nathan P]

Looking at Fred's pics in post #1, C3a/C5a are definitely films in his build.

I could be wrong, but on the schematics from diyforums.org, it looks like a electrolytic capacitor. If it was meant to be a electrolytic capacitor, is there any harm in replacing it with a film one? Thanks again

Zero harm. Electrolytics are inferior in every respect except for capacitance per unit volume.

Looking at that schematic, I think the creator just got "lazy" with the symbols. The symbol used doesn't really mean electrolytic it's just a polarized cap symbol. If using an unpolarized film cap you just ignore the polarity. The intent is clearly for it to be a film bypass.
