Yes David, but we don't know if he wants to be authentic and faithful to the
original. In the case of some 1950s Wurlitzer and Seeburg jukebox boards I did
last year people wanted the same retro curves as laid out originally on acetate
with sticky pads and crepe tape. In my case I used a background scan and traced
over the curved trackwork.
A good CAD artist can make a board that looks just like it was laid out
with crepe tape. The better software has radiused curves for traces. The
trick is to *not* use the grid feature, so that you have the slight
imperfections of hand layout.
