I scored a set of used Shimano high flange hubs off eBay some time ago that I built up into a new wheelset to go with a Shimano 105 Golden Arrow group set that I had at the time.
What spacing are you looking for? 126mm? Or 120mm with a 6sp Ultra freewheel?
Here's a NOS Dura-Ace set in 126mm:

Thanks for your comments and thanks for moving the thread. Rear spacing on my 1985 Panasonic is 126mm. My freewheel is a Shimano HG22 6spd. Those dura ace hubs are beautiful, but my rims are 36h, unfortunately (I must use the original Araya black anodized rims!! ;-) Shifters 6sp Shimano 600 EX, RD Shimano 600 SIS. cheers
