Hi everyone,
I really admire Dr. Gilmore's work, and ready to build the Krell Klone. I'm preparing for nearly a month. But my son (who is studying Shakespeare in the college), after Googling, told me, we can't just "see" the PCB and make a clone of it. (Cos the PCB has many layers, ususlly 2-4, diffrent layers has totally circuit, those copper layers are very well designed. And then he doubts Mr. Gilmore's Klone PCB image-files was drawn up on the computer after "eyeseeing".) In order to make a clone, we must destroy the PCB completely. He again told me: we have to remove all the components first and drop the PCB in a machine (can't remeber its name) and boil off the green things on the surface, and use a super camera to take some photos about the 1st layer copper, and use the machine to boil off the 1st layer in order to take some photos of the 2th layer...and then 3rd...4th...After photo taking, the PCB gone. And then do some Photoshops to make the PCB image on the PC.
Is this true?
