Hi Rob, it looks like a good board, but would need the transformers to go with it. Well worth a lash up with any old transformers to see if it operates before buying expensive transformers for it.
Plenty of programmes available to design boards out there, but should not be necessary if the original works.
I use easy PC, which is similar to most programmes. First you enter the schematic with component details etc. You then "translate" it via the software onto the size of PCB you wish to use. The components are then normally dumped as a "rat's nest heap" on a corner of the board.
You ten drag/drop the parts in the positions you want them and place the "rubber banded" tracks onto the board where you want them, again by drag and drop.
I suspect your board is of moderate complexity so would be long winded to layout manually, but would it be worth the time to learn the software?
Cheers, Ed
