I checked with Dan last year and didn't have any boards remaining. I also
checked with ExpressPCB and they wanted about $100 for the board. That's
when I decided to just breadboard it.

I've been through the gamut of triacs for the VTTC also. Both David Rieben
and I are now using NTE 56018 800V 25A triacs. You can read about them here:

Let me know if you have questions.
