Before I started making my own turret boards, I snagged a couple off these guys. Nicely cut G-10, turrets all nicely swaged. Pretty quick turn-around. Never bought any components from them, but at least what they have looks like good stuff.

Ken Watts is a great guy. He'll do things for you like alter board layouts to fit what you're using. He did some custom Matchless style boards for me. If only all my vendors were as stand-up as Ken!

I'll add a +1 for Ken. I've had loads of boards from him and his service is great.

Good prices, fast service, will mod layouts to suit.
Also, He/they have good pricing on Belton tube sockets; my personal favorite of current production offerings. (other than cork-sniffer HIFI teflon mortgage-the-house stuff)

+1 ... and I really dig his chassis too.

I get my boards and chassis from him. I just use universal type boards for all of my amps (way easier to keep the right stuff in stock).

I bought 5 different type of boards from him several weeks ago and all were fantastic. Very quick shipping also (he does state that orders are usually filled within 5-7 days)

Sounds like a good retailer by all accounts.
But when I look at his site, I don't see much offered for sale.
Do you have to email him to ask for something?

Their old site, turretboards.com , has all the stuff. The new, wattstubeaudio.com site has been "in progress" for some time now.
