Any electronics geeks know where I can find this?

I work on a lot of older electronics, most of which was invented long before surface mount technology was reliable for high temp hostile environments. Now that all of our new stuff is surface mount and I've got components handy, I'm trying to find some crossover mounts that have radial leads and 1206 mounting platforms, so I can ditch the old radial lead resistors that require frequent changing for calibrations, and hopefully stop people who don't know how to solder from destroying boards by trying to rip out radial leads. I imagine there's something like this out there, but Google didn't help and I thought somebody on here might know.

That's all Greek to me, but have you tried digi-key.com? I imagine you have, but that's all I can think of.

never heard of them, but I can guarentee that if you did find them, they would be MUCH more expensive than just buying some THT resistors

Digikey will have them to you the next moring, as long as you order before 8PM.

It's not a price issue, the radial leads I use cost about $.20 and the surface mounts are $.02 and it's not like we're using massive quantities that would cost a shitload either way. I looked on digi-key and newark, nothin.

You might try HERE.

you could get a small adapter board madeup with through hole pins and a 1206 footprint on the board.

The piggy-back board sounds like a plan.
