Anyone know where I can get my hands on a blank PCB? I would get murdered coming home with 5 blanks and I have decided it's time to start searching for my bom to achieve my A1K's destiny. I'm based out of the USA if that is relevant.

If you're still looking for a PCB, I have a few extras from my PCBWay order. I'd be happy to send one to you and also provide my BOM with sourcing information if that's helpful. I've not finished building my Rejuvenator yet, so I cannot be 100% sure that the parts I ordered all work as required.

geekpower - would love to see your BOM and sourcing, could potentially put the whole project on PCBWay or a few of the other sites, and let people choose between bare boards and pre-assembled :o

I'm about to pull the trigger on an order of 5, but haven't even started looking at the BOM list (and costs). The boards alone will be about $45ea

Luvwagn, I've PMed you my BOM, which is a work in progress. But feel free to share it with whomever you'd like. As I finish up my build, I'll make more notes on the BOM so that if I or anyone else should wish to build one of these glorious boards, they'll have all the parts they'll need nicely sorted and described along with potential suppliers (US only).

Where are you guys getting good clips leads to use with the Revue?

Not sure on clip leads and things.

Just got bare boards in today - will have ~2 spare boards I believe.

building on @geekpower BOM that he shared, I thought I'd reference some pricing as I'm working through this:
1. PCBWay 5 board minimum - $55/board
2. Bunch of parts from Mouser - $60/board
3. Bunch of parts from eBay (for 5 boards) - $23 (0.1uF 16V caps) + $18 (MC74F257AN) + $55 (SOJ to DIP20 converters) + $15 (IC clip leads) = $111 / 5 units = ~$22/board
4. GALs from Amazon (for 5 boards) - $30 (GAL20V8B-15) + $13 (ATF16V8-15) = $43 / 5 units = $9/board
5. Unlike geekpower, I chose to source some items directly from China (which I may regret)
- 74ALS373 = $1.50/board
- MSM514400D-60 DRAM SOJ (2MB total/board) = $5/board
- pin headers 2.54mm spacing 17.8mm long = $5/board
- PLCC 84-pin socket (for Agnus) = $1/board
- DIP-18, DIP-20, DIP-24, DIP-40, and DIP-48 sockets = $5/board

Total is roughly $169/board in parts costs

These (on Amibay) are selling assembled for $420+shipping (minus custom-chips and RAM), which is a decent mark-up although I assume it takes quite a lengthy time to build and test one fully before shipping. Listing here (not by me).

Clip leads from here

SOJ to DIP DRAM converters here

GAL20V8B-15

ATF16V8B-15

Hope this is helpful to someone
