Atlas Circuits Company

Lincolnton, N.C 28092
704-735-3943
 
Last known prices: $0.78 per square inch, $0.01 per hole, $7.50 
to make film from 1X or 2X artwork. No plated thru holes, no 
silkscreen, no solder mask, no inspection, 15-mil spacing design 
rules. $10.00 minimum.

I have had them do up to small production runs, and the delivery 
is excellent. They take 2X or 4X (1X with no guarantees) camera-
ready artwork (plotter, laser printer with GOOD toner, etc.).
 
The boards come back sheared and tin-plated. 10 mil traces appear 
to survive their process, although only 15 mil is guaranteed. Ask 
for their order sheet, which has instructions on it.

PC-board supplies. Some of their prices, from a recent sheet:
 
Complete kit--everything, $29.95.
6 X 6 X 1/32 single-sided pre-sensitized, $3.48
...double-sided, $5.16
 
A great advantage of these guys is their boards use a
_positive_ photoresist, meaning you can just Xerox a
pattern onto a transparency and go!
