For 15 years I have used Radio Shack terminal strips with RS crimpable spade plugs. Now with the bankruptcy of RS the strips  are becoming difficult to find.  I am wondering what you use for that purpose and where you get them.  Also, if you know of a cache of RS strips please share the information.RadioShack® 8-Position Dual-Row Barrier Strips

I too use these a lot.  I looked on e-bay and there are some now for $5 for two and with free shipping. Others vary in price, but I found others at $3 each with free shipping.  They reasonably range from $2.50 each to $10 and more.  Most are pricey, but there are lots at or near the All Electric price or better, as I'm sure anything purchased will have shipping associated and sometimes tax.  You might have to look harder if you want exactly like the ones you have.

The very best way you can get lots of these, but it will take some effort, is to contact a local radio or HAM club or better at a Hamfest  (Short Wave Radio Meet).  I have seen these at $1 each there.

 

Thanks...   Good luck...
