2053.0. "Help on getting a PC-Board made..." by HPSTEK::SENNA () Wed Dec 28 1988 13:58

    Has anyone ever tried getting a pc board laid out and  manufactured
    for thier own personal use (NOT DEC). I'd like to find somewhere
    I can get this done for a pc board I'm going to do. Not ready made
    boards!!! 
    
    
    Thanks Tom

    Tom,
    
    Try  ACTIVE Electronics in Westboro.  (508) 366-8899  or 
    1-800-ACTIVE-6.  

    There are also ACTIVE stores in Woburn, Long Island, Mt Laurel NJ, Seattle,
    Detroit and Santa Clara.  
    
    They used to have a custom board service, something like $35 if
    you have your own artwork.  Prices will vary quite a bit depending
    on single/multiple layers, whether you provide the artwork or not,
    type of board (glass, pheno, etc), gold plated contacts, whatever...
    
    ACTIVE is also a good source for wire, connectors, IC's, and PCB
    supplies if you want to etch your own.
    
    
    If anyone else knows of any good board shops, I too would be interested
    along with the prices they charge and turn-around time.
    
    John

    Thanks, but ACTIVE doesn't do this kind of stuff!!!
    Anyone else have some ideas????? Has anyone ever tried
    getting an 86 pin connector??? It's almost impossible!!
    
2053.3or how about...FSDEV1::JBERNARDSun Jan 01 1989 18:5716
    Active USED to do custom board work a couple of years ago. Ah well,
    times change...
    
    For Custom Boards  try  K&F Electronics Inc
                            33041 Groesbeck
                            Fraser, MI  48026  (313)294-8720
    
    I haven't used them personally but it may be worth an inquiry.
    
    
    As for the 86 pin conn...  try U-Do-It Electronics  off exit 56
    from rt128 in Needham.  The traffic is murder, but they are �quite
    well stocked with some of the wierder stuff.
