I usually buy tie wraps from Allied Electronics, on the web at

Lordy! ...are they still with us? Haven't thought of them since I
perused their wish-books for Knight ham gear, as a kid.

That wasn't Allied Electronics, it was 'ALLIED RADIO', which was bought
out by Tandy (Radio Shack) about 1954. I really liked Allied Radio in
Chicago -
they had a good catalog. What was your ham tag? I was W5??, but I was
never very active, too busy making a living and raising a family back in the
1950's.
