Yes, this is another stab at finding a source for 7 and 9 pin miniature tube plugs. Has anyone ever 'de-vacuumed' a mniature tube, cut off the top using a glass cutter and then soldered to the pins?
I think I could get the glass off (leaving, say, a 1/4" rim on the bottom) and cut off the tube guts. But I have my doubts about whether or not the leads coming up would take solder. I rather imagine the leads were spot welded originally and that the leads may not be solderable. Any thoughts? Anybody done it? 73 Bob Groh, WA2CKY _______________________________________________ Boatanchors mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/boatanchors
