Does anyone know where I can get a fretboard for my ric lap steel model 100.

Jonas,
In 20 years of collecting lap steels I can't ever remember seeing a 100 series fretbaoard for sale anywhere.
I'm pretty sure most of the 100 series had 22 1/2" metal fretboards that were glued to the body, as did the CW, SW, Jerry Byrd and the Console 200 series and Console 500 series. So, any of those would probably work, unless it was on an 8-string, in which case it might be too wide.
Check the Steel Guitar Forum, Steel Without Pedals section. Do a search for fretboards. I think you will find someone who can make you a good copy.
Good luck.
