It looks like you could use a program like MultiSim which is an actual electronics simulation program where you can select and place components with correct symbols for resistors and term references for capacitors ie. uF and so on and so forth.

After you place your components, you simply connect the "dots" with virtual wiring and flip a virtual toggle switch on and virtually see what your design will do with virtual meters for R, I, E, and even a P meter! Oh, and a scope to boot! Anyway, well worth it if you are into circuit design and presentation.

Maybe my teachers and professors were too picky.......
Oh, its not a SPICE sim. That's a PCB layout. (Although I have considered entering the entire circuit in and seeing what SPICE makes of it.)


Here's what the schematic looks like (I didn't bother cleaning it up, I just needed it electrically correct and component-correct so that I could lash the whole thing up as a PCB.)




There's no spoiler tag option installed here at VK so I have to transmit this in the clear I guess...


Hint: Look at the component numbers, and then go look at the CB-1-60 schematic...


Here's a teaser that has no airwires pictured and also has the traces on the correct side of the copper for through-hole components. I still need to pop things apart and take some mounting and clearance measurements before I decide the final shape/size of the board and where to place the mounting holes on it. I'm also holding off on designating the isolation slots to be milled out until I revise the layout more based on measurements, but be assured I am taking the fact that there's ~500VDC on this board into account.
