For the B5971 tubes… I ordered enough parts to make 40 units.
Many items made it cheaper to get some number above that. So, I might be able to get enough to make a few extra. Example… Resistors were cheaper to buy 50 rather than 40 Transistors… 600 instead of 520. Meaning, ordering 520 actually cost more than buying 600. OSHPark sent 44 sets of boards instead of the 40 I ordered. Kudos on them. So, I might have a few extra in the end. 24 Me 06 Bill 06 Thomas 36 of 40 (plus possibly 4 extra) I would also like to put an array together of the B7971. Guess I need to order more B7971 smart sockets. As for the B5971 socket, I think this thread is for the Marcin Saj [[email protected]] Tube Tester. I ordered one. Will be nice to have a single tester for most tubes. You need the tube or the socket? Guessing you got the tube from the only guy on ebay selling them. Doubt you need the SK-136 socket itself. If so, there is only one person selling them. (Meaning, all others are sockets, but missing the two center pins, and the 1 ebay person that has the correct one is stilling them with another tube that doesn’t even use them and they will not separate or come down on the price).

I'll be curious to see how the Smart Socket project turns out. How many tubes will be in your 7971 array?
