Hello guys, as I was making the clock for the contest, I found that struggling with 11 wires going from every nixie tube is pretty impractical. I would like to develop a base that I will use for my tubes. Because I am making tubes with "pinch" and not a flat glass bottom, it will look like this: http://www.jb-electronics.de/html/elektronik/nixies/n_gr414.htm. I will make a PCB that will be attached to the bottom of the aluminum or plastic socket, pins soldered into it..
There are two ways: - a common nixie layout like B13B. It looks authentically, would fit into existing clocks/kits, but designing a board for it is not easy and also finding right pins for making a socket takes some time.. - a 2x6 header pin that would fit into a standard 1/10 inch grid - easy to get a female connectors to PCB, there is also a possibility to fit the tube socket with some ICs (7442) so that only 6 pins would be necessary to make. However this solution doesnt look much "vintage", it is not authentical.. What way would You personally go? Thanks!
