Where can I get an old school large lighting junction box?

[ProDave]

The junction boxes used in spider wired lighting systems years ago, typically about 6" square or more.

I have a broken one that needs replacing don't want to rewire the lights, just want a new box to transplant it all into.

J701 is the term to ask for in the wholesalers, if they are old skool in there they might also understand RB4 as well

I just use an adaptable box, ideally Wago https://www.tradesparky.com/more/en...plastic/wago-60339091-junction-box-wagobox-xl

Fine if you are wiring it from scratch, but I want to transplant the original wiring, connector blocks and all, complete, from the old smashed box to a new one, so it needs to be a similar size.

Just patching up and making safe some defects in an old house with an old owner as cheap and easy as possible to make it all safe again.
