1541-III group buy?

[Randy Dawson]

I dont participate as much as I would like, but I may be of help on this one.

I'm a professional PCB guy, and can show you all how to get this fabricated.
There are a number of shops in our trade magazines that offer some pretty low cost (double and 4 layer) PCBs

What do we have to start with, some gerber files?

Or really going out on a limb, the entire design file in PADS, or Orcad?
