frustrated by eyelet/turret board prototyping

[Chuck H]

I still think the perf board flea clip method is probably good for the type of prototyping you want to do. If you don't do any under board wiring you can tear the whole circuit apart and rebuild a different amp without removing the board. Nearly as durable and neat as eyelets or turrets too.

I took this method from some German equipment I found from the 60's. I'm certainly a lot sloppier than those pieces! These make it perhaps too easy to change parts. 50cm per side could get you plenty of options if you wanted a row of sockets.
I'm not sure if it's available in the States though...

Those would be great to use. It appears that you can use a hacksaw and cut them to any size you may desire.

Yes, they are good choice for bread boarding.

Conrad does sell in America. They have company here in the US that is their agent. Contact them for information.

Also, Chuck is right too, flea clips are easy to get here in the US. Plus, if you use perforated boards you can drill the holes out and use long screws and nuts. Wrap the wire around the screw to make your connections. When the circuit is set in stone, unwrap the part and use it in the construction of your project. You can re-use the materials over and over.

So, Chuck is pretty smart, don't you think.

BiBi, that is really good stuff there.

I remember those terminal strips. I trying to remember as to where it was that I saw them, in the states.

O.k. got it. I saw those strips at Western Electronics Store, when it was on India Street, San Diego, California, around 1972 -1974. Western Electronics has since gone by by in 2000. Also there was a electronic surplus house in San Diego, called Electronics Town.
