Douglas Electronics used to stock these as Miscellaneous items alongside their DEC compatible PCBs. http://www.douglas.com/index.php/off-the-shelf-solutions/bread-boards/de-11-dec-compatible.html However I don't see them listed anymore; nor am I able to find them using the search function . Possibly they simply sold out of their existing stock, and that was that. You could inquire on the off chance that they just aren't listing any remainders. paul
