3PDT.com Klon Layout?

[vigilante397]

I know forum rules expressly prohibit the posting of the schematic, but does anyone have the layout or build doc for this PCB? Their website is offline and I'm not getting a response to my emails. I bought the board maybe 3 years ago, but I decided this week I'm not starting any new projects until I clear out my backlog.

I don't, but I know you can figure it out from the Chittum or Aion schematic.  Should be fun.

I was hoping I wouldn't have to, but yup, I may end up doing that :-/

You'll have no trouble.

A year or so ago I bought a TS808 PCB from Tayda.  Being a little suspicious, I decided to check it against the schematic before populating.  Beep beep beep.  Only discrepancy I found was the order of the 220r and 220n that are in series from the tone wiper to ground.  Doesn't matter at all, but still I swapped them to the original order.  Just in case!  Another thing, IIRC, they didn't have polarity marked for the 220n caps, expecting you to use film types.  But I used tants, so I needed to know.

This can also be a useful exercise if you care to consider outside foil orientation.

Dunno if this picture of a stuffed board will help at all:

Thanks, I found that picture as well and was able to get most of the resistor values from it, there are just a couple that are hard to read

I didn't even think about that, brilliant! Hopefully that works

Well I was able to get into an archived version of the website, only to find that they don't post their build docs on the website I was able to find a different email address though, so I sent another email. I'll probably just grab a schematic and start tracing anyway

There were pictures of both sides of the board (and unpopulated), so hopefully it won't be too horrific.

I think he moved to Amazon..

I went back over the pictures last night and got most of the resistor values, and was planning to dive into tracing today, but they actually answered my email and sent me the build doc! So if anybody else has one of these boards and is missing the doc I can help you out

I HAVE IT!!

I'll be sure to hit you up once I lose it again. Trust me, it will happen
