Hi,
i'm tired of waiting for expensive soldering strips (i can't get them locally) every time i want to make something with tubes. Beside this i would also like to play with different placement of material.
So i thought about using veroboard instead, with attached terminals like this:

Those terminals are a little small, but i'm sure they will firmly hold attached components. And some veroboards seem to be solid, so i don't think they will break easily.
The only problem i can think of are sometimes very hot wires. Maybe so hot that solder which holds the terminals will melt, and terminals would fall out of the holes.? Well, this is probably not possible and i can design against it.
I think this solution is still better than some tag boards with sloppy terminals. I encountered all sort of problems with them; corrosion, bending, some of them even fall off..
One good thing about my solutions is that i can route components and wires the way i want and need.
What do you guys think, is my plan good or not? I know i will have to try this myself, but sometimes i want to just close the lid and use what i built.
