Hi! It pains me to ask this, what vendors are
hobbyists using for low cost,
low quantity prototype PCBs?
I highly recommend OurPCB (
www.ourpcb.com). I doubt it's cheaper than
barebonespcb.com, but I like the:
* multiple soldermask options at no charge
* free e-test
* ability to panelize orders
* stencils for SMT are $120.00
* $50 setup for a board, as many orders of it at no additional setup
charge
* 4mil min
* 12mil drill min
* HASL as standard, gold immersion is only $30.00 extra.
* 10 days order to door.
* They will assemble for $0.016 per pad/pin + cost of components.
* Accept Gerber and Excellon
* Support Paypal as well as traditional options.
* 5 day turn is $50 extra
I have never had an issue with them, or the PCBs they produce, and I've
run ~ 1000 boards through their service in the past 2 years.
Pricing is at:

Can you relate your issues with Advanced Circuits, just so others who
might want to use them might be able to take it into account?
