Thanks for that video Kevin I've been looking high and low for anything for the small Burroughs and those boards is all I've found so far... I'm thinking maybe a post in the Yahoo smartsockets group might hit pay dirt. There's still semi recent posts in there. -- You received this message

I kinda wanted to buy some of those too because they're new in the box. The boards look legit but they aren't really like the smart sockets we know I don't think. Still they look workable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To

If you wanna sell some I'll buy em. They're nice. Make sure you use a resistor inline with the current... Don't want to burn them up. A buddy of mine has a dozen b-8091 that I think he wants to sell after we test them all. Not sure what the $ damage is yet... My guess they'll test good

Here is the only video I've been able to find of a 5971 being driven, and judging by the video description it's a hodgepodge of driver ICs and microcontrollers. Not a proper "smartsocket" or driver board like we are more familiar with. https://youtu.be/2u13rIDjta4 On Mon, Apr 1, 2019, 4:55 PM

Having searched extensively, I dont believe any implementation of 5971 circuits have been published online. Looks like someone has to make one! On Mon, Apr 1, 2019, 4:07 PM Thomas Kummer wrote: > I impulsively bought (6) 5971’s I have no idea how to use the smart > socket. Does anyone know of a

I impulsively bought (6) 5971’s I have no idea how to use the smart socket. Does anyone know of a 5971 kit? If not I’ll try to learn to use the smart socket. Sent from my iPhone On Mar 29, 2019, at 13:17, Bill Notfaded wrote: >>> These pics looks much better... > > -- > You received this
