Hi Scott,

I got some big ones from the local scrap yard.

Also, I got a great unit from an alarm company. seems they pull out
their competitors panels when they up-grade, then trash the old
panels. I found one guy unloading a dozen on trash night. maybe
some calls telling them you are a hobbiest and want their junk for
parts, you might get lucky.
