Unfortunately the socket pins of B9A and B7A sockets are too wide for use with the 10 pins (11 spaces) in the outer circle of a EZ10A/B. An alternative are pins of D type connectors, however the flange is quite thin, what urges for working at very narrow tolerances. Anyhow I have here a lot of nice bushings that might be useful. I need three sockets. I will keep your offer in mind.

Then use the contacts in your own laser-cut wafers to fit your special tubes. -- David Forbes, Tucson AZ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
