A.87 does not fit in a GON, Only the the old ones GON NS87. And those are kinda hard to find.
There is a TX87 IC currently which will do the trick, im just exploring my options.

Buy used:
- LZ series board [I know LZ-S and LZ-GH will fit for sure]
- GON NS87 [like you said harder to find now - and its alu not SS]
- Duck Orion [also hard to find but has SS plate]
- Duck Unicorn [basically Orion, but acrylic with SS plate] - even harder to find than orion LOL
- EXE (http://i.imgur.com/rjqaHgh.jpg) image from yuktsi - not sure if SS or aluminum plate, but definitely metal - also hard to find

Is there any reason you are limiting yourself to the A.87?

you could e-mail kaliet at http://22kbd.com/ and get something custom cut for you, I think he can make it happen.
it will probably cost you in the 1500-2000 SEK range though. and it might take a month or so, since he is away for work right now.

Don't mean to step on your thread but does anyone know how to actually order from this site? it's quite a bit cheaper than from GON himself unless there's something i'm missing.

Does anyone know about this? cause GON's limited PCB is on sale now so i really need to know since i don't think i'll be buying if i can't order from here.
