Major Score, and a new idea

I just hit up a local electronics store that's been in business since the 30's for some flea clips, and BOY did I score!!

I bought out their entire collection of flea clips-
They aren't the Calectro clips, but I think they are the same thing.

I got my hands on 285pcs, but they weren't cheap!!

The guy at the store says he has that board around as well, but he'll have to dig for it!

The company he says makes all that stuff (For GC/Calectro) is called Vector, and they may still produce this very stuff.

I don't think Vector makes them anymore. At least I can't find them on their website. They still make stuff for Wire Wrap (Late 60's early 70's) technology. They do make perf board but it is copper clad on one or both sides as far as I can tell. They make push-in terminals but nothing like the fleas we need.

I just contacted the old supplier and they said that they no longer making the Clips, but they do however have the tooling to make the Phenolic board.

I am going to hold off on selling them for a bit, I may be able to get boards to go with them, if the board thing doesn't work out I'll be asking $25 per set of 52 pcs (These were REALLY expensive, sorry guys!) they also had a pkg of 2 prong clips if anyone is interested.

HeeBGB is right. I have been in contact with GC and even sent them samples to them and Keystone regarding mfg Flee clips again and both have turned me down. The Perfboard that GC sells 22-518 (8" x 3 1/2") is made over seas. I was in touch with them as late as last week and they gave me a price of $90 per sheet if I have them make it in 12 x 10 inch sheets with a 2 month lead time. So yes it can be made but by the time you place an order for 500 sheets your looking at $45,000 order. If someone has won the lottery and has the extra jack, email me and I will hook you up.

Cool score man!!!!!

Vector said they could make the board with about a $250 min.

I just have to get him dimensions of what I'm after and I'll get all the details. I'm also going to make that old dude at the electronics shop scour his HUGE warehouse for more, I'm sure he's got them!
