So  here is the question....This looks like Phenolic type basalite  board
(Brown).  Anyone used something newer or recommend what I can  use to
replace the stock board with?  I have a drill press, so no  issues
re-drilling a new board.   Or if there are boards already  built for 8
Screw-in Caps....better  yet.



Thanks...

Hi Rich
 
Nice call.....  ;-))
 
I just did a board for my NCL2000.  I used some 3/16 XX black bakelite  that 
I used to provide to Antique Radio Supply in Tempe AZ.  
 
I used the prong-type 105*C radial cans; in series/parallel.  I  drilled and 
chamfered the holes, then installed 1/4" grommets, and peened them  in place 
with a nail set.  [The only way I could configure them to fit in  the doubler 
housing in the rig.]
 
 
The caps click in.  The shunts wedge nicely.  Solder gives you a  very nice 
seal and fill.
 
Got some extra if ya need it.  Lemme know if ya need a pix.
