Ken,

I have the skill and software to design the circuit. I designed the circuit
and did the PCB layout for the controller we use in our stir plates. But
this is done on rigid FR4 material & to get the price down I had to order
over 500 raw cards.

Problem is, irregular shaped prototype boards get expensive and prototype
flex circuits are even higher.

Normally, flex circuits are manufactured then the outline is punched out
with a die cutter. I guess one could be done in rectangular form then hand
trimmed.

Thanks, Tom

I thought maybe some industrious young individual might want to make us a
batch to replace the aging units behind the gauges:
