Custom PCBs!
I recently received the custom printed circuit boards I had made by OSH Park!
This one is for a small voltage doubler. It rectifies 12v AC current for the tube filaments of a couple of 12EL6 tubes, and doubles the voltage for the plates. I'm not yet sure how well the 100μF caps are going to smooth the current since I don't have a scope, but we'll see..
After designing it I created the board layout in Eagle. OSH made it so easy, too. No need to generate all the various gerber layers, just upload the ".brd" file and they do all that and show you nifty previews to check over before finalizing the order! They are now going to be my fab house for the indefinite future. :)
