Hi Wayne - 

I made a bunch of them and distributed them on the list in (i think)
2016. The run I did sold out a while ago, 
but some other people may have made some or have extras they would part
with. If you only need one 
I may still have an extra unpopulated board or even an assembled one
lying around. 

If my copy of Eagle still functions I can see if I can export a
postscript file of the copper layer for 
photo etching, though my confidence in getting the size/scale exactly
right isn't 100%.  I think Steve Garrison is converting it to KiCad,
too. 

You're also welcome to the Eagle files themselves and/or the gerbers
generated from it of course. Nothing proprietary here! 

Since that design there's been some turnover in parts availability - the
original optoisolator/solid state relay is no longer made, but there are
some quite superior ones sharing the same pinouts and with better
parameters now. Just a quick parametric search on DigiKey's part
selector shows these as likely good candidates, but note I haven't
actually tested these.

Here's the one I did that got manufactured that people on the list have
a bunch of.

I can dig up gerbers or whatever if you want!
