Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Reproducing a vintage computer PCB

2017-07-03 by Martin Heermance

A starting point for reproduction. Since the board is 8"X10", put the board on a flatbed scanner, scan both sides, and post the results.

I bet that GIMP or Photoshop could turn the image into black and white.

I've been a lurker for a while and sort of new here. So forgive me if this has been talked about before.


I have a unbuilt Quest Super Elf kit. What I would like to do is scan in the PCB so I can print the images on a laser printer and make a duplicate board. That way I can keep the original unbult but still have a PCB that I ( and others ) could build.


So what is the best way to scan in the PCB and do any clean up? The original is a two sided, light green color, and 8x10 inch.


Thanks

David
