Strip board (Veroboard) Layout Circuit to breadboard

How can I transfer the following circuit from veroboard to breadboard? I don't know much about veroboard as how it has internal connections. Can somebody help me in transfering this circuit to breadboard?

Is this for the telephone bug again? If so why not just follow the schematic you posted initially here? – Oli Glaser Jun 14 '12 at 12:15

There are a lot of different types of veroboard. This one has all solder joints on a row connected. That would limit your board to maximum 10 nets, but it's common to cut rows in two or more separate parts.

Connections on a solderless breadboard are completely different; they have rows of 5 connections instead of the 14 here, and a couple of long rails for power.

Because of the difference in layout I wouldn't try to convert one into the other, but go back to the schematic and layout the breadboard from that. (You do have a schematic, don't you?) If a schematic is built up logically it may be easier to transform that into a breadboard layout than to start from what you now have.

...or you can try to extract the schematic from the veroboard – clabacchio♦ Jun 14 '12 at 11:23
@clabacchio - Might work reasonably well here, all components are marked, but you can't see the orientation of the diodes, for instance. – stevenvh Jun 14 '12 at 11:29
heh right :) but the pins have different symbols, it may also be an indication – clabacchio♦ Jun 14 '12 at 12:09

@Steven - the schematic is here. – Oli Glaser Jun 14 '12 at 12:18
@Oli - Yeah, I just read your other comment. Thanks. – stevenvh Jun 14 '12 at 12:19
