Craig,
I think 5750 and 5870 share the very same pinout, both physically and
electrically, right?

I have some NL5870/ZM1332 and their non-standard pin spacing "forced" me to
get into the whole PCB design and production process (with KiCad). It turns
out that I got more PCBs than Nixies (there was no saving in ordering 3, 5
or 10 pcs!), so when they will show up in my mailbox (and be tested), I
will have few spare basic PCBs that I would have offered on the list
nevertheless. No problems to share design files for non-commercial use.

They are 4-digit multiplexed, 74141 onboard and there is support for both
decimal points controlled through NPN darlington. Anode mux'ing is
off-board because everyone uses a different method, even myself. It is a
very basic design, but I wanted something to hold the tubes not the whole
circuit, even though I agree that a PCB is convenient if you're going to
build more samples of the same design.
The rendering looks like this:

So, someone might get to build a 4x 5750 display sometime in the future. My
PCBs have been on the road already for 45 days... stay tuned.

Paolo
