[Boatanchors] Solder-type Terminal strips, where?

[Rob Atkinson]

Those R.S. prices are ridiculous.   I'd start looking around at
surplus stores.  Fair Radio, Leeds, D&D Surplus, check eBay, maybe
Bill Perry in Louisville (he has an ad every month in ER), hamfests,
I'd even try surplus sales in nebraska.

But instead of all that, you can also mount and solder the diodes on
breadboard and screw the whole breadboard to a chassis with four
standoffs.  I think I'd try that instead of the terminal strips.   You
can mount the breadboard vertically on a side with two or more L
brackets.   R.S. used to sell circuit board stock and their prices for
that weren't all that awful.

Also I'd prefer to have at least 10 terminals on a strip, although of course I can just use more strips with fewer terminals per strip if I have to.
