PSU

Well. Another PCB design of the PSU for the StereoSID. I thought I was done with the last one, but critic voices told otherwise :). So Here it is, hopefully the final version. More compact, looks tidier, negative vreg on the far right instead of in the middle. etc etc. Please tell me what u think of it :).

    - Massive amounts of thanks goes to SmashTV & Co for all the nice tips on psu design. Not that I claim it's good enough for them to put their name on it hehe, but they have been nice enough to look at my crazy ideas :) Thanks :)
    Looks good. Just make sure you don't connect all the IC to one big heatsink. The metal backside of the 7915 is not GND.

    Thanks.

    /me knows :). Thanks for watching out for me though :). I use clips to attach the cases to the heatsink, and also isolation rubber.

    I just started soldering the board today with the components I got laying around, the bridges, the small caps, and the vregs 9 and 5v. The rest is probably delivered today, but it's too late to do something now.

    Oh, I tried a solder through spray on mask - lets see how that works out.. :).
    Ah, i have a can of that here. A green mask. But haven't tried it yet.

    One board scrapped, new one made. I wasn't quite satisfied with the way the soldermask turned out. :). Pics to follow.
