Sinclair ZX80 / ZX81 / Z88 Forums

Hi

I just stumbled upon a Polish site, where the make prints for the same price as in China. It's €17 for 50x100mm. That's the same price as the cheapest manufacturer Smart Prototyping.

There's a difference: Smart Prototyping create professional PCBs, but has very slow delivery as it's from China and has to go through a slow process through customs. The Polish firm Spectrum create hobby PCBs, but has very fast delivery as it ships from Poland and reaches you after a week.

I'm not associated with the firm, but just wanted to share a great deal.

Smart Prototyping, China:


Spectrum, Poland

Well... I do just as well as Poland (and even better: with tin plating of the tracks), in my kitchen...

Not wanting to be rude but frankly, for double-sided PCBs of this basic quality, you don't really need a manufacturer.

I have only made 1 PCB in my life, and it was produced in China because I didn't want to mess with chemicals in the kitchen of our small apartment. This deal is great for me.

It is my company in Poland
I have a special second kitchen to produce PCB

P.s.
I have built my own ZX SPECTRUM using Z80, 6264 and TTL available in Poland at 1988.
It was assembled on one universal PCB and many cables (advanced 3D structure)

Super cool!
