They'll be better than this sort of (overpriced) thing, though;
http://www.tubebuilder.com/ptp%20boards.html
extremely cheap/free, customisable, and I get to recycle them:-)

For the investment of a little time, it saves me buying new fibreglass
boards (although I haven't looked up any prices;- do you know of a good NZ
supplier for blank fibreglass pcb stock, in case I wanted to start there?)
and I already have a jar of double tag rivet things - even normal small
tag
strips cost a little, and don't have the flexibility of custom placement.

I just thought it might be an interesting experiment for point-to-point
wiring for tube amps - even just for prototyping - and so far, it is:=})

Any number of electronic supplies companies sell raw PCB (clad) . Why not
actually make a PCB (easy-peasy) or strip the PCB down to fibreglass with
etchant, if you are dead set on doing this point-to-point thing.

The whole concept of ripping traces off ready made ( esp lacquered) PCBs it
just too bizarre (not to mention time-consuming) to contemplate, for me.
And even then, you'll end up with fibreglass board with a bunch of unrelated
holes in it. Do it 'properly' in the first place.

Or get phenolic tag-strips and do point-to-point wiring like they did
before PCBs were common.
