Hello folks, I am currently working on a Nixie voltmeter, and I am planning to use the IN-14 along with her special symbol tube IN-19B. They are rather cheap and they look pretty nice (I like the trick "5" ;-)) - the only problem is that they come with flying leads.
Background: I have a 4xIN-16 clock running here, and one tube turned out to be faulty, but I soldered these babies directly to the boeard, so I have to desolder the Nixie tube in order to exchange it.. That is some tedious work that I would like to avoid with the voltmeter. That is why I was wondering if there was someone who has build a "carrier board" or "homemade socket" for tubes with flying leads. I.e. solder them into the socket board, and then connect the socket board to the main board. I know some suggest placing the flying leads in DIP- sockets, but that is not really a very stable solution, is it? So I am happy to hear your ideas, all the best, Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
