Quality Questions

I got some Far PCB's for a design from QST, what I didn't realize is some other people were organizing a group buy for the same project. Anyway, to make a long story short, I ended up with two PCB's for the same project. One from FAR, and one from the group buy, which apparently came from a professional PCB house. The cost was about the same, but the quality of the FAR PCB's was much lower. The holes were not plated through, and the registration was off. The other board was modern, fine lines, plated through holes, nice silk screen, all for the same price!

I have found Fred at FAR Circuits great to deal with. In addition his products have all been excellent in quality. I do a lot of project work at home, mostly on Linear Amplifiers, and seem to always need a new circuit put together. I'm not a fan of "ugly" construction so I went to Fred. Fred has taken my schematics and ideas and made up boards for me to try out. He has been very patient with me as I have to have it just right. As an example Fred produced like for like replacement boards for my old Dentron GLA-1000 and GLA-1000B amplifiers after I sent him the old ones. After I decided to convert the Dentron's to the Russina Svetlana Sweep Tubes (EL-509) Fred helped to redesign the RF and Power Supply boards to incorporate my changes. He then made up new boards for me. He stuck right by me unit we got them right!!
Project Boards Fred has made for me:
1. Dentron GLA-1000 series RF and Power Supply amplifier boards
2. High Voltage Power Supply Boards (two types)
3. Tuning Pulser for Linear Amplifiers
