Re: Bodge-o-tronic: Veroboard!
Nowt wrong with Veroboard. I have used it for years with no problems. Obvious things to watch for are inter track capacitance and current handling on tracks, but with a bit of care, you can work wonders with this stuff. I was brought up with Veroboard and still use it. I have the gear to make PCBs but to be honest sometimes I just can't be bothered to make a proper board. For RF circuits I sometimes use the kind with no tracks just holes, to reduce capacity effects between tracks, or alternatively you can remove unwanted tracks to obtain same. I would encourage people to try it out if they haven't used it already, for small circuits anyway. I'm not sure about the voltage rating of Veroboard though, so I wouldn't use it for valve circuits.

Reason: additional caution on high voltage circuits.
