I did a question on Kickstarter to the builders about the tubes. I suggested that since they are using a PCB base that it would be more attractive to offer a pinout equivalent to the IN-18 in the circular pin outline instead of the two straight rows. This way the tubes could be used in existing designs. His response:
Hello, I think we will present the version with circular pin pattern for the lovers of IN-18 tubes. It will be special offer. Thank you I am thinking that they are initially wanting to sell their clocks and thus the proprietary pin-out. It doesn’t seem to be the most practical business approach but credit for trying to keep the art of nixies alive.

Do Millclok know something we don’t? However, it is still good to see new tubes being made. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
