I didn't find his products, but I found these: http://www.bivar.com/enclosure-hardware/ejectors-handles-inserters-extractors/handles/cp-series?p=CP-2%20NT The CP-2 line seems to have the right dimensions for DEC FLIP CHIP modules (2.43" wide, ~2" rivet hole spacing) and they have them in natural nylon, which might be dyable, white, and black. They are stocked by Digikey and Mouser for under $1 each. > That business came from him owning an injection molding machine and someone > asking him to make the handles. His original business was doing jobs like > the riviting and other assembly jobs around Orange county. We are exploring a small-scale injection mold machine at our local hackerspace. I want to try some DEC switch handles but as an earlier experiment, FLIP CHIP handles will be a simpler die to make. -ethan
