I was worried about that, too, when I made my latest clock <https://threeneurons.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/nclock06_01s.jpg> The socket scheme for the IN-18s is covered at my Improvised Socket <https://threeneurons.wordpress.com/miscellaneous-projects/improvised-tube-sockets/> page. There are holes in the base, below those tubes, that match the tube pin arrangement, including nipple. But they are drilled well over sized to allow the sleeved socket pins pass thru, with no friction. The pins float, and there is just the slightest amount of friction against the base. A tube will, however, pull out, with only a few ounces of force. This does mean, that you have wire a large wiring harness. <https://threeneurons.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/skt_thn_pin07.jpg> <https://threeneurons.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/skt_thn_pin05.jpg> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
