Guess if you have the time and the tools, and some good schematics....it can be done at home...

They used to be very easy to make years ago when Radio Shack sold the PCB kits. I haven't even bothered to try to find the kits anymore today. I made up a fair number of them years ago when I needed to build custom projects.

Radio Shack still sells the components, blank PCB, and etching fluid.. Don't know about the kit though. the components, a laser printers, and an Iron and you should be good. :)

What do guys think about using bread boards

used them in school a few time for testing purposes.. but thats all.

Wouldn't want to use them for a permanent solution.

This place has a ton of stuff..... http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com

www.partsexpress.com might have some of that stuff as well.

I would imagine "part sex press" would have some interesting merchandise...;)

If you don't want to etch your own PCB (really not too bad of a process. You can also use a paint pen if the design is simple and you want to free-hand it) you can use stripboard.
It can be found with the "prototyping" supplies from Mouser (and others). Here is a good place to learn about it- http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?board=2.0

You might also do some searching around the arcade and pinball forums (rec.games.pinball newsgroup is always a good resource) and see if someone has already reproduced the board you need. You might be surprised!

Good luck!

Thankyou for everyones help i think i will try and build one i will let everyone know how it turns out Bob

For small projects with a simple board or two I just use stripboard, works especially well if you ever plan to modify them. I save the etching for big projects where density matters. I buy stripboard from http://www.futurlec.com/ProtoBoards.shtml
