Turrets vs Eyelets

[guitarmike2107]

I have used both and prefer turrets, I almost always wrap the componets around the turret, it gives a good mechanical connection that works even when you forget to solder the joint..

if it was just about price though then I would use eyelets as they are cheaper

here's a 5E3 I built with a turret board, this was before I started wrapping all turrets around the turrets

I use eyelets and turrets.

On the Orange Retro OD50 board I am using both types. That way I can route components over the lower eyelets. I have even used two sizes of turrets with eyelets on a board. (The layered look)

It does get confusing and some times have to drill out a mistake

I have used the Michael's eyelets and they either have thinner walls than the
Mouser ones or the alloy is weaker. They tend to split if you are not real careful installing them. The Mouser one's are pretty solid in that regard. Mouser also has a nice variation in width and height as well.

Gnerally all of the craft eyelets are coated aluminum.
