Most of what I've been doing are 50's/60's vintage ham equipment,
not necessarily very high end, in fact maybe consciously choosing
to be on the low end. Lots of lytics in cans.

http://www.mcmaster.com/ has garolite/glass epoxy tube and sheet in
an unbelievable variety of forms. I order and they're here the
next day. Astounding, and almost everything ships for just $4.00!

There used to be a local plastic shop that
would sell phenolic and glass epoxy cutoffs but they got bought
out by a big national outfit and aren't worthwhile anymore. In
any event McMaster-Carr is way better than they were back in the good
old days!

Mouser has the swage terminals. And of course the lytics too!

Nothing I did requires any deep machine tools - hacksaw, snips,
hammer, drill, file. I did buy the Keystone terminal swaging tool
from Mouser.
