Any recommendations for getting PCBs made? Nothing to flash, double sided but not through-plated. I have the gerbers, etc.. I have had a look at the d-i-y kits at jaycar and if it comes to that will have go, but would like to know costs, lead time , etc. Tried Capital Circuits in Seaview but they are not answering the phone anymore

There are plenty of China based services for prototype runs very cheap.

I went with pcbway.com in the end. Ordered on the 29th, shipped on the 30th! 5 100x80 boards for $NZ30, expected to arrive by DHL on the 9th. Amazing service.
