Epoxy Circuit Boards for vintage style Fender Amps

[Dennis Waddell]

Anyone know where I can source a Epoxy circuit board for a Fender 5E5A PRO project. Thanks Dennis

Do you mean a glass-fiber (FR4) turret or eyelet board (rather than wax-impregnated paper, like the vintage Fender stuff)? Hoffman has a lot to choose from: https://hoffmanamps.com/MyStore/perl...yeletBoard.htm

Think old electrotechnik resin boards that I get sometimes in pieces in flea market like that: Otherwise any electronic store offers modern FR4 boards in almost any colour, thickness or size. Keystone rivets at any size, including punch tools available. I.ll check Mouser first.

#83 looks like a winner. There has often been a hard desire to use a black board but I believe people are getting over that for their personal builds.

FWIW I bought a 4x4 sheet of FR4, a sack of eyelets and a staking tool for about $100 USD when I started making my own amp designs (maybe twenty years ago?). I've built a dozen or fourteen amps (?) and made boards for another dozen rebuilds and I still have generously most of it left. There's really nothing to making an eyelet board and I've been surprised at how long that sheet of FR4 is going. I've moved it to new digs three times! My wife keeps asking me if I "still need that thing".

What do you use to cut it ? Do you control the dust when cutting or drilling the stuff ?

Table saw. I wear N95 when working with anything dusty.
