From: Noel Chiappa: Tuesday, September 29, 2015 5:57 AM For a one-off, you could print the .stl file for the most common type from here (note: inches!): http://www.so-much-stuff.com/pdp8/cad/3d.php or have an outfit like Shapeways do it for you. If you're wanting a number of them, it would be worth it to make an RTV mold and cast them in two-part resin from an existing original. The shape is pretty simple, and the geometry is large/coarse enough to be fairly forgiving. Douglas Electronics still sold them last time I checked, but I can't find them on their new website: http://www.douglas.com/index.php/off-the-shelf-solutions/bread-boards-by-fu… http://www.douglas.com/index.php/21-de-7.html For attachment, small zip ties work surprisingly well, as do the softer pop-rivets (put the flange side on the back).

No longer made (Newark *used* to have them) but there may still be old stock in the world (or at least it looked that way last time I went googling). I think the last time we talked about Stu Phillips, someone who'd known him said that by now he must be very retired, if he's around. Too bad because he was the go-to guy for all the aftermarket cards in the 1980s (most of those handles have his initials or name on them -- he had both plastic ones and the quad/hex metal ones). Again, I'm curious what it would take to get a real mold made (there are service bureaus that advertise that on eBay but I have no idea what they'd need to work from). It seems like there are plastic shops on every street corner here in western Mass. ... to the extent we have street corners. John Wilson D Bit
