I've been toying with the idea of building a Nixie Sudoku like the one posted on Trashbear Labs. I don't know whether I can use some other tube instead of the IN-12's shown. I've never been a fan of the 5 made from an inverted 2. Looking at Dieter's database I can see that there are a number of tubes (e.g. ZM1180) of similar size and with a similar-looking pin arrangement on the bottom, but I don't know if they're similar enough to use the same socket. The other problem is finding an alternate tube in sufficient quantity to build the thing.
Alternately I could try to adapt the design to use the smaller IN-17 tube since that one has a proper 5. I've never done any PCB design before so that would be a challenge. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
