If you have the PCB files in one of the more common formats (Gerber files, for example) you can go to someplace like PCB Express (www.pcbexpress.com) and get the bare circuit boards fabricated at a reasonable price, assuming there are no more than 6 layers in the board. (Unless it's a fairly complex board it's not likely to be more than 6 layers.) Do you also need someone to procure parts and assemble the board? Roughly how many parts are involved? Are they surface mount or through-hole, or a mixture of both? Are there any programmable devices involved? If so, does your information include programming files? Contact me off the list if you have questions. I'd be happy to provide whatever advice/suggestions I can.
