Got it... sorry for the confusion. There's a guy on the TM500 groups.io list that has a pretty nice extender kit. Not terribly expensive. I don't know if he is still making them, though. Anyone want me to send him and email and find out?
I snagged an original Tek extender, so this is not my problem. And I would ask Texaspyro first, as his is also good for the TM5000. I am looking for proto boards rather for experimental and build-to-purpose usage.
