I didn't even notice that. :( Oh well, the update nearly 7-years later might prove interesting.

Since we're exhuming an ancient thread, I'll put in a plug for PCBway. They're very inexpensive, and at least as easy to work with as any onshore vendor I've dealt with.

Look into JLCPCB. (China) We've been using them a lot lately for our general purpose boards. I hadn't heard of pcbcart before so of course I had to price-shop them: :) QTY-20, 100mm x 100mm, double-side, 1oz copper, etc.. "apples-to-apples" From pcbcart: $85.00 (for crappy prototype boards, 5-days) From pcbcart: $122.40 (for production boards, 8-days) From JLCPCB: $21.39 (for PRODUCTION boards, not prototype), 8-days (Florida). And, $14.20 to ship it. So, roughly half the price of prototype boards but you're getting real boards instead. We've also used Seeed Studio (and other offshore variants), and at the time thought that was a good deal. Then we shopped JLCPCB. Wow! No complaints on the boards, and we've been averaging 5 to 8-day turns from order to in-hand, delivery to Florida. We still use domestic suppliers for anything high-frequency or impedance controlled, including complex multi-layer with specific stack builds. Otherwise, I think it's going to be really hard to beat JLCPCB if you can wait a week to get real production boards. https://jlcpcb.com/quote

Yes, indeed. A few are revisions of older versions, but there are a bunch of custom gizmos I have made for people, as well as my standard products. I'm maintaining production of about 20 products right now. Jon
