If I had done it, I would have used SMD. I've done something iike 30 to 40
designs for customers, I do the prototypes then my runs have been from 20
to 200ish. I contract that outl

My last little board I had the house do the resistors and caps, but you had
to use there list of about 200-300 parts. You need a 500 ohm resistor
that's 2 x 1K.

Nothing wrong with the perf board, you can get some very nice FR4 boards
for less than a $1 each.

I guess the deal is John built the board for himself but made the design
open.

Nothing to taking his CAD, changing the parts to thru hole and laying out a
new board.
