I use a 3M diamond abrasive plastic film which you can get in finess down to 1 micron. I use a 10 Micron one for very fine gentle sanding of things like nixie pins. It is slow but effective. Coarser versions would work faster.

Martin, i'd use some emory board (nail files) to lightly sand the rust off of them.....done that with a few tubes myself with no issues.
Cheers,

Hi all,
I had a few Burroughs B5092s sitting around and thought I would build a little 6 shooter from PV Electronics. I like this model since you can create your clock using any tubes. You just have to wire them up multiplexed.Anyway, I used NOS ceramic sockets but the pins on the Nix's are very dirty and corroded.How can I safely clean them?
Thanks!
