Fabbing the board was easy, I decided to try using a hot plate along side my typical hot air and iron setup. Given the large pours and thermal vias, it made a noticeable difference in some places. I also was able to recycle the larger electrolytic capacitors and the low voltage transformer from the old board using a butane soldiering iron.
