Hi Harvey,
Thank you for making the 5CT1N / 7CT1N Adapter available to the members of TekScopes. That is very generous.
For at least the past 5 years I have been creating prototypes of a dual transistor adapter but until about 2 weeks ago I was never satisfied with the results.
I compliment you on the absolute simplicity of your design. I cannot imagine that anyone could make it simpler. My solution looks more like an actual Tek designed adapter.
As you have discovered by now even something as simple as giving away your PC boards for free gets complicated by reality.
I think I can solve this dilemma for you. I propose two possible solutions:
#1 Solution: Make a PDF available of what you designed that anyone else can use as a guide to make their own PCBs. You will not be violating the Eagle license by sharing your schematic and board layout in a PDF since there are no Gerber files involved.
1) Make a copy of the schematic (In Eagle the sequence is: File > Export > Image > Clipboard) and save it in Word (or whatever word processor you use).
2) Next do the same for the board.
3) Save your word processor's document as a PDF so everyone can read it
4) Upload the PDF to the Files section on TekScopes
#2 Solution: Reimburse you from the TekScopes account:
1) For the people who cannot send you a SASE send them two of your boards and keep track of what you spend to do this.
2) After 1 month notify everyone this is their last chance to get your boards
3) Wait another week for the last requests for your boards to arrive then send me the amount you spent on postage and I will reimburse you from donations to the TekScopes account.
