I laid out something like here:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/58002657/C64_rf_modulator_replacement.png

trying to keep the signal paths (traces) short. It is not yet meant to be placed in the metal housing of the modulator but if that works well I may take some efforts to make a replacement board that goes inside the metal case. The "upper" part is an audio amp for the SIDs.

Any comments / striking errors in this? What should I put more attention to?
