I was just whining about that Paxolin tagboard taking too long to show up and it was in the mail today. Now this is the stuff. Paxolin was a trade name for Bakelite that was common to a lot of European vendors back in the day.
So this is essentially just brown Bakelite with "tin" (actually an alloy, but commonly referred to as tin) terminals riveted to it. But it's very nice in that it gives you three good places to connect a wire or component at each location. Those holes in the center also give you a place to bring wires up from under the board.
This is technically an FR2 board. Modern boards are usually FR4. The difference is sometimes notable at high voltage, but at 9 volts I'm pretty sure there's no increased hazard worth noting. And they're just so amazingly cool.
An obsessive collector! Wonderful Bakelite Lamps from the 1950's. Two brown, one black, a pink and a green. I would love a blue one too...
Needed a phone to test the new phone line; the DECT phones are all flat after months in storage, the Type 300 however works perfectly. And I've discovered you can use the iPhone as a tone-dialer for it.
