The mid-1970s? I have a Popular Electronics with a 2/3ds-size
photo-ready image of the Elf II PCB. I regularly contemplate
attempting to make that one, but feel I need more PCB etching
experience before trying a board that large.
Of course, these days, it's easy just to recapture the schematic and
make a new layout, as people have done with that exact design already.
I just look at the hand-taped swirls of traces and feel that it'd be
nice design to tackle. Lotsa tiny holes to drill (and stuff with
bridging wires) though.
But your point is taken - after that era, most designs were writeups
with an address to send to for professional-quality PCBs.

Looking for the card?? Why not just build one?
It was a construction
article, after all.
Since when have you seen a computer contruction article that
you DID not have send alway for PCB layouts or firmware?
