From the post:

>Earlier this year [Skyhawkson] got ahold of a Apollo-era printed circuit board which he believes was used in a NASA test stand. He took high quality photos of both sides of the board and superimposed them atop each other. After digging into a few obsolete parts from the 1960s, he was able to trace out the connections. I ran across the project just after making schematics for the Supercon badge and petal matrix. Being on a roll, I decided to take [Skyhawkson]’s work as a starting point and create KiCad schematics. Hopefully we can figure out what this circuit board does along the way.

There's no reason why something like this wouldn't operate on 80VDC (or in this case -80VDC because "ground" was positive in germanium-land.) We tend to think of "transistor" devices in the consumer world as low-voltage battery things, but there's plenty of oddball voltages floating around in a late-model television set, operating across transistors.

80VDC?!? (files.catbox.moe)
