I have one of these: https://nixietester.com/project/pro-nixie-tester/ <https://nixietester.com/project/pro-nixie-tester/> The construction is a bit flimsy but it does everything. Note that you while you can use loose wires it also uses Marcin's universal socket system. This makes testing lots of the same tube much more convenient although it adds to the overall cost. You'll need three cheap DMMs for calculating the anode resistor values. Terry Bowman, KA4HJH "The Mac Doctor" https://www.astarcloseup.com “...the book said something astonishing, a very big thought.
