Make a new board

[überfuzz]

One amp I'm currently tinkering with needs a new board. The old board is past it's prime...

I can probably find a nice epoxy board at some local dealer, but the eyelets. Is anyone aware of any European dealer?

Search for anybody selling supplies to leather artisans or shoemakers. They sell the eyelets, the machine to apply them and the dies.
I still have and use everyday the machine I bought in 1969 to make Fender type boards.

Ahh... it never crossed my mind. Shoes got perfect eyelets. I'll definitely look into it. Thanks! And suggestions of where to find the boards?

Just a minor question: Where do you live?
My crystal ball is a little foggy these last days.
Anyway: there are some very crude eyelet punches, which you whack with a hammer and others "nipper type" that leave your hand numb after a few, but for a couple boards that does not matter much.
I use a small press that bolts on the table.

Why do you think the board is past it's prime? They do not wear out... is it damaged by someone or ???

It's a pcb board ful of cracks and strange fluid. Put it in again..? It would be against all my believes. I'm going for point to point now.

I stumbled across an eyelet ... thingi in a local hardware store. Thanks you the advice Fahey
