Questions

How big is the Ecc83-gm test setup PCB?

It measures 99.6 × 99.6 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Ecc83-gm test setup use?

24 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Ecc83-gm test setup KiCad files?

From the schenkmi/electronic-projects repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is tube-testers/ecc83/kicad/gm-v1/ecc83-gm-test-setup.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Ecc83-gm test setup design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the CERN-OHL-W-2.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
