I tried to find those ancient solderable terminal strips as seen on
http://www.meci.com/index.php/cPath/67
Has anybody found this at Digikey?

But while looking, I found prototyping with turrets and turret boards.

(If Digi doesn't have it...you don't need it .. :) )
Anybody here put turrets to use and is it a good prototyping method?

I've done dead bug, 3D matrix, vero, adhesive copper tape, wirewound
and terminal strip. But haven't done turret.

Wow, that's a /really/ old system (notice the weird pin-spacing?). I
haven't seen those around since the days of tag strips. I'd be amazed
if you can find any place that still stocks it.
You could do something similar these days by using break-off
pin-header strips in that 0.1" perfboard + solder pads style
protoyping board. If 0.1" spacing is too tight, just pull every second
pin before soldering.

The only way to go for tubes (terminal strips, that is). As such, they are
plentiful at such sites as www.tubesandmore.com, although I don't know how
they are priced (I haven't had to buy any yet ;).

If it must be obtainable from Digikey then I suppose it depends on
what you are happy with for your needs. For example, according to
their stock list they have

500 of

500 of

100 off

300 of

I've used individual terminals:
(mind the wrap)
http://www.mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=1598-2virtualkey53400000virtualkey534-1598-2
They make handly test points and off-board solder thingies, but never for
prototyping on top of the breadboard itself - I just use the proto-board,
and when I'm ready to melt metal, I use something like a pad-per-hole
perfboard, preferably with a ground plane (actually, a grid) on top, and
just wire point-to-point, with, like I said, turret terminals as handy
little off-board tie points.

But unless you have the little anvil and special little punch, they're
kind of a PITA to install properly. lessee...

Ah. Staking tools: http://www.keyelco.com/pdfs/p80.pdf

Have Fun!

I got some at Halted Specialties.
http://www.halted.com
They have their place. In my situation, I was putting together a
passive filter network for DC power isolation. For a handful of large
components, those strips are OK.

I'm guessing wirewound is wirewrap in Canada. ;-)

Dead bug really only works well with DIPs. For surface mount, the
spacing is plain nuts. What sucks is those surf boards often cost more
than the chips.

oops
I meant wirewrap.
Not wirewound like resistors..

I saw a old tv completely constructed with those solderable terminal
strips.
I'm going to check the local electronics surplus (&junk) store...
