I whipped up a little design in Osmond PCB using 0805 size resistors 
and capacitors.  It might make more sense to use a pair of eight 
resistor networks such as DK part # 4816P-1-270-ND.

It might also make sense to use something besides 0805 size, because 
you can't fit two of them across the width of the thing, so the parts 
must be offset some and that makes it messy.

The design is at http://www.io.com/~trag and look for files 
Discrete_00 and Discrete_01.  The only difference between them is 
that the latter has an outline of .028 holes on a .035 grid 
surrounding it.  So if you wanted to do a step and repeat with it at 
one of the commercial shops, you could then break/cut the boards 
yourself, rather than paying them.  They usually charge a lot for 
many tiny boards as opposed to one big board with lots of holes.

The problem is, I can't figure out a convenient way to copy and paste 
the design in about three bazillion times.  The traces don't go with 
the copies.

I used .035" holes for the pins but I'm not sure what metal to use 
for pins.  Standard 0.100" header strips are too thick I think. 
They're 0.025" square and the pins on the original RC network DIP are 
only 0.019" wide.

Advanced Circuits https://www.4pcb.com/33each.asp has a $33/board 
special but there's a minimum of 3 so it's basically $100 plus 
shipping and $10 handling.  Maximum board size is 10" X 15" but it 
says there's an extra charge for step and repeats, so I don't know if 
they'd charge extra if one laid out the repeats onself, or if that's 
only if they have to do the step and repeat for you.  You could get 
about a million of this board in 10" X 15".

Alberta Printed Circuits http://www.apcircuits.com  has an 
inexpensive Proto service.  It's not as nice, as you don't get solder 
mask and silk screen and minimum trace is 8 or 10 mils, I can't 
remember which.  But they're pretty cheap for their proto service.

The board is 1.100" X 0.400".   Will that fit in the space in the SE?

Digi-Key doesn't list 200 pf SM caps, just the 220 pf and the 
difference shouldn't matter, given that the original part has a 30% 
tolerance on the caps.  There are several of them.   For 50V rating 
one Part number is PCC221CGCT-ND and price is $.62/10 or $4.17/100. 
For 100V rating another is PCC1981CT-ND and the price is $1.62/10 or 
$11.40/100.

There also don't appear to be 25 ohm surface mount resistors.   There 
are 24 ohm and 27 ohm resistors.  Again, the original part has a 10% 
tolerance, so it shouldn't matter too much if one uses a 24 ohm 5% 
part here.   I think P24ACT-ND is the part number, with pricing being 
$.80/10, $2.15/50, $4.93/200 or $17.20/4000.

Osmond PCB is available at:  http://www.swcp.com/~jchavez  . It's a 
nice little PCB tool for the Mac.  Feel free to use the designs above 
in any way you wish.
