Many thanks for recalling/reproducing this previous mailing Peter which I'd entirely forgotten. A number of the points have been updated with newer procedures e.g. holding the boards for etching but the process is essentially the same one I use now. I've now reached the age where I spend several hours on something similar to this only to discover I've done it already on a previous occasion. Worrying! Best Wishes Tony errrr...oh yes...Moss. -
