This is a broad that I purchased on EBay a few years back, Listed as Mystery Boards and recently found out that this was an old board from a Fender 75 that had not been installed into anything. That is gonna be my project here soon. I did not place the Photo Cells on the board below the drawing since this was an old picture and I hadn't found them at that time. I can now purchase the Photo Cell from Antique radio Electronics. The values are from the Board itself, but I have yet to compare this to the schematic. I will post my results after i have. The drawing is marked with the values but you have to enlarge the drawing to see them...Thanks

My first board attempt, I like it, it shows the flaws of trial and error, perfection is only a personal opinion...now don't you feel :oops:

The board is Vector board which I'm using to prototype, that is to see where the component fit....

The holes in the material allow the components to be put in place prior to drilling holes and adding eyelets.

Nothings permanent and its a work in progress....

Ok I get it, new guy here, everybody chime in and give him a welcome...

"Broad" is a slang term for a woman, dating from the 1930's.

I was thinking alvarezh's joke about having see better looking broads got by you.

Mendelson's is still there, but I haven't been. Looks like it might be worth a visit.

You need to go on a weekday and head for the 4th floor if memory serves me..All the Vintage Amp, and electronic supplies, etc... you can spend hours searching for Capacitor values, resistors, wiring etc.. Use to stay in the area and would make that trip weekly. Then Mendelsons would sponsor thier annual Hamfest around this time of the year.

They are also the parent company of Parts Express, with Pioneer and MCM being a city block or two from their warehouse in Springfield, Oh.

75% of these supplies were purchased at Mendelsons

Thanks

I'm wondering that as well.
I threw away a 75 board a couple of months ago.
Owner wanted a better amp built into the chassis, he could not stand the drive on it.
(Typical Fender).
Only thing he liked was the cleans (again, typical).

rather than try to mod it I built an entirely different circuit into it.

Hummm!! Not a lot of interest in just posting this layout I gather.

No I'm just posting this layout in case someone out there needed a this board layout...When I purchased these boards, I figured someone else also had made a purchase of these items. I have the component listing but, will post that later, but based on these inquiries, I may be wasting my efforts.

Thanks again

Lots of boards like this have been sold and guys used the components from the boards to build something good out of it.

Strip and through the board away.
