They are about the cheapest board house that I''ve found and
the free layout software that they have is simple to use. If you
can squeeze your design into a double sided 2.5"x3.75" layout,
they will sell you two boards for $60 with a 2 day turnaround.

Indeed.
BTW, how much did that KM-11 replica PCB cost? I wish I
could find hobby-level PCB vendors that _could_ do
gold fingers, but for as much as that card would be used,
I can tolerate tin. I have a TM11 and an RK11C that I'd love to stick
one of
these onto. I've seen Tony's pages in the past, but never
worked up enough energy to do a point-to-point replica. At
least I do have a single-height prototype card or two, but
I was hoping to save them for, say, crystal-controlled
baud-rate generators for a PDP-8/L (to run a VT52 reliably at
a comfortable split 9600/150 baud rate).
I used to do point to point work, but now I find that my time
is more valuable when the design has more than a few components.
Worst case, I do have some bare copper-clad board of
the right
dimension (not sure about thickness without checking), but I'd
still miss the gold fingers.
Standard 0.062" thick board.
