WTB: original RS perforated board material

Dear forum members,

i'm looking for a sheet of original RS turret board material or "hole board". It comes usually in sheets of 27x21 holed sheets and here's the specs from old RS catalogs:
SRBP perforated sheet:
2. Large (part No. 433-551) 200 x 257 x 3.2mm, with punched grid pitch of 9.53mm and hole size 2.69mm

It varies quite a lot in color, but reddish brown would describe it closest - there are lighter and darker variations. Also on pictures the color depends a lot on the lighting and angle, while it can be lighter/darker in real life. Here's two examples, which look the same in real life but seem to be very different here due to one being made with flash: https://s802.photobucket.com/albums/yy3 ... %20wanted/
And here is an example of a darker one: http://www.valvepower.co.uk/board400.jpg

I would offer a very good price for a sheet in good condition and without any or at least too many extra holes or other blemishes.

I can also offer trades for many of the NOS parts here, if it's preferred over money: https://s802.photobucket.com/albums/yy3 ... r%20Trade/

I need enough material to make 27x8 and 11x17 holed boards from it.

I'd also be interested in the same unperforated material.

Please pm me in case you have some of this material or know where i might get some. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks a lot in advance!

Kind regards,

VintageCharlie

Thanks for the tip, ckyvick, but that's not what i meant - it's old-stock material from the 60's.


All the best,
