Hi Folks, can anyone point me in the direction of a supplier of thin plastic card suitable to make punched cards for the Mullard HSVT
Thanks, Ed |

Re: HSVT cards
Hi Ed, I use HIPS, high impact polystyrene, about 0.5 or 0.7mm thick.
I get mine from a local craft store, Squires, but they are available on line. If you just need one or two cards I can punch them for you. Peter |

Re: HSVT cards
Thanks Peter, I now have my own punch nearly completed and decided to start making some of the ones I don't have.
It works fine on thin paxolin, but that is expensive to buy Cheers, Ed |

Re: HSVT cards
I have used HIPS for some time now and it is robust enough to stand being used in the HSVT, there is no signs of the unused spring contacts trying to break through the plastic.
