    Where oh where is Vero

    Anyone have some N American sources of Famous Vero Board,I can only find one by search.
    I am getting dangerously low and am suprised for an item that has been that popular that it is not more readily available, I don't even know if Vero is still around but I see other parts of the world seem to have sources.
    For my money its the best for prototype and one off designs.
    But none of my usual suppliers list it.
    Help!

    Al,
    I think that I may have seen some at my local electronics surplus store. They were still in the package, several packages in a box. Next time I'm in there I will check it out and let you know.
    If it's not nailed down, it's mine.
    If I can pry it loose, it's not nailed down.

    Al,

    I stopped by and checked out what they had. Sorry but all the stuff was Vectorboard brand stuff.
    If it's not nailed down, it's mine.
    If I can pry it loose, it's not nailed down.

    I suspected it could be vector, but thanks anyway, I just had some visitors from UK, its too bad I did not think earlier, I would have got them to bring me a raft of it over.

    Whoo hoo........looks like I might be able to help you after all the help you have given me :wee: :cheers:

    I can't get a direct link to the page that shows what's available but if you go here......

    http://www.rpelectronics.com/

    ..... and then 'drill down' the categories on the left side until you get to 'Breadboards and PC Boards: PCB - Copper Strips Predrilled' you will find several different sizes of 'Vero' board and they also stock other types too.

    I have used these guys in the past and service has been very good (I had some switches broken in transit and they were replaced with no problems). They are Canadian too so no border hassles to contend with.

    Hi Al, just wondering if RP Electronics had the Vero boards you were looking for?
