as an amp builder {retired!!}, i admittedly see things in a different light. yes, i understand that this guy has to make a profit, but for that kind of selling price....well, i've never seen the attraction!

if this kind of project looks like fun and if you have the knowledge / skillset to finish the wiring, then why not make your own board from scratch?

the G10 board can be had for a couple of bucks. yo can even get it cut to your size by any number of wholesalers....even so, it's the most expensive component by far & will still be less than $20.

eyelets...mouser catalog. something like 1.7 cents each as i recall.... you drill the holes, shove them through & peen them over with almost any kind of wide-face punch & a ballpean hammer. idiot simple.

all components will add up to less than $50....again mouser catalog.

standoffs, wire, solder....add $10

if you have an amp that needs a new board, don't buy....make! the satisfaction is greatly increased!
