Title: Any place to get a 6 lug terminal strip?
Post by: Flux Capacitor on August 15, 2015, 01:26:06 PM
Hello, so I received my Bottlehead crack and I broke one of the 6 lug terminal strips. I'm not sure if it possible to crazy glue it.

Anyone know a shop to get another (preferably in canada since in US shipping would be $20+ for a $0.80 part)? Would like to find something this week so i can order it this weekend and have it arrive sometime during the week. Been trying to find local hobby electronic shops that have these kinds of terminal strips but no luck yet.

Found 2 places that sell them but they are in US so shipping would be over $20 for less that $1 part. I am in Canada close to Toronto if that makes any difference.

EDIT:
A1 Electronics Parts in Toronto had the exact 6 lug terminal strips for $0.75 each. They had a ton of other parts too all for reasonable prices.

You can email replacement parts @Bottlehead & ask for another.
Or found this store in Toronto that shows they have them: http://www.a1parts.ca/Terminal_Strips.htm (http://www.a1parts.ca/Terminal_Strips.htm)

Wow nice find! Will drive to that store tomorrow to pick one up, did not think I would be able to do crack this weekend because of the broken part!

Google can be helpful sometimes! :D Might pay to call them first, as just noticed on their contact page that they may be closed until Aug 21 for inventory.

Just be aware not all 6 lug terminal strips are the same size. I got some from Tube Depot and they don't quite fit - you can bend them in position, but there is pressure on the strip that is not present with the standard strips.
