Actually, I did see that thread... but I'm not certain what to make of it. Other than the comment that the Russian tubes are metric and the US tubes are fractional inch so there is a difference and then the discussion goes on to suggest using bare pins. I understand it may be a tighter fit, but is it possible? Nixie's don't get replaced very often, so once I get them in the socket they will likely remain there forever. The US sockets are priced about the same as what I paid for the tubes themselves lol. VS about $20 shipped for a set of 6 IN sockets. If I could think of a way to mount the tubes on a backing plate, I'd probably just buy the single pins.
