Opposite the tube side would be best, was planning to mount the board inside and have the tubes stick up through holes in a decorative case. > > Do you want the colons like in that diagram?

See threeneuron's part listing below: <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-I78Kea5wmVM/V7uZJOsVuZI/AAAAAAAAAAw/JQgOgtaGonkF-aYEBBCU7CFU5mDl9K93wCLcB/s1600/Screen%2BShot%2B2016-08-22%2Bat%2B8.29.08%2BPM.png> > > How far apart do you want your IN-8 tubes? The IN-8 socket data sheet > recommends 23mm. Do you want them spaced differently around the colons? The recommended is fine. I had figured this would be the last priority in my design. The colons would probably require more space, not exactly sure yet. > > Do you want mounting holes? If so, how many and where?

I will be able to give more intelligent answers to the these questions later, just wanted to get back to you tonight. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
