I bought a batch from Futurlec  (before I knew that Aron was selling the same thing) . . . I would encourage you to buy from and support Aron . . . he provides us all with a great service . . . I will be buying my next batch from him . . . promise  :wink:

I just etch my own w/PNP - that's cheap, then I just drill out what I need...

Actually, I have been doing a hybrid of layout and vero because I mod everything I build for myself and I got really tired of the hastle of having a layout and then a chunk of stuff on the side which was hard to secure when it was time to stuff it into one of those electrical boxes...

So, what I do now is I will layout rows of vero around any layout that I think I will be modding later. So, if the pattern:

  ]]]]
 
was my standard layout, say a Tone Machine... I would add vero around it so that my final layout that I etch is:

||||
]]]]
||||


Where |||| is the vero.

Then, I just route things in and out of the original layout... I found this to be great when you have a circuit that will get you about 80% of the way you are going... then you can just mod away on the vero sections.... it's pretty quick - and it's way less mind-bending when you have a more complicated circuit like a fOXX Tone Machine - just take the layout from GGG and add some vero and go to town.... no need to start from scratch that way on veroboard.
