Where can I find these?

I'm not sure of the exact name of these solder points used in the old style crossovers but want to know if anyone knows if they are still sold and where.

Here's one place.

You probably needed these thingies yesterday, but since you are in metro Boston, if you can wait until April when the MIT flea market gets back into swing, you can pick these up for mere pennies if you don't mind pawing thru teeny parts bins. That's where I've been getting mine, and I like using them ever since I admired the crossover assemblies shown in this forum by xmas111 in his exceptional AR speaker restorations. They come in a variety of contact points and attachment points (1 or 2 screw holes), and they are simply fashioned from conductive metal and thin phenolic sheet.

Check out electronics surplus supply houses. I like Nebraska Surplus Sales:

There are others. Look for Phenolic Terminal Strips

here's another: http://www.allelectronics.com/category/755/terminal-strips/1.html

and of course there's always ebay.

Thank you all.

I may do that ra.ra

Kent's links look pretty good for selection and price (10 or 20 cents apiece), but the flea market can be a fun way to spend part of a Sunday morning. I think this gathering grew out of a ham radio club decades ago, and you can meet some eccentric and interesting characters with all sorts of knowledge. It's a pretty small and very casual event, and the location (parking lot and parking structure) is very near to where AR, KLH, Advent, and a/d/s once had production facilities.

Yeah, Kent's sites are good. I found the 2nd link easier to sort thru and see exactly what the item looks like.

Thanks for the flyer. Sounds like it could be interesting.
