Just had a look, and found I have some 500 older black 1x4 plates.
Amongst them I have found some with smooth undersides, some 6 lugs, and some
12 lugs.
Some of the 12 lug variety have solid tubes, some hollow tubes!
Of the 4 varieties I have identified, the technic track links;
Slip off those with smooth undersides.
Snap onto those with 6 wide lugs.
Pop off both types with 12 lugs.
So I guess you only want the 6 lug variety?
I'd be willing to bring all 500 along to SCLF for you to sort through - but
I still don't know if I will be able to attend, and then there is the fact
that most of my collection is moderatedly worn.

p.s. A sample of 50 plates yielded (12) smooth, (6) 6 lug, and (32) 12 lug,
so you might have even more trouble than you thought getting 130 of them.
