It seemed to me that Radio Shack stopped selling

one a few blocks from my house. Anyone else know anything about
this? Solder-ringed perfboard is good for stuff, but I find plain
perfboard nice for building up stuff that's not necessarily a
circuit.
I wasn't aware that they had stopped selling it. I think I last
bought some about a year ago. I'm going to make the rounds of the
local Radio Shack stores and buy up all I can. I use those large
pieces for projects, usually wire-wrapping.
They didn't really stop selling it, most stores just stopped re-stocking
electronic components. That seems to have changed recently (within the
past year), however.

Hi
Jameco had a good selection of different perf board shapes,
sizes and materials. Not cheap but a good selection. They
ship really fast. I live in the bay area and usually get my
order the next day if ordered before noon the day before.
If you need specialty board, such as for a older PC or
S-100 try Anchor Electronics. They have these things
as well.
