I should have guessed, thanks very much.  Now, if I could only move these 
projects beyond glacial pace….

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: 7971 Burroughs question

[Scott Duncan]

Thanks for the info.  What are the pin dimensions/diameter?  I tried some pins 
i had from other projects but the Burroughs’ are too large to fit. 

Thanks
Scott

[neonixie-l] Re: 7971 Burroughs question

[Richard Scales]

I have sockets for these. There are also 'smart sockets' which include a 
PIC microcontroller which does all the 'heavy lifting' making it very easy 
to drive.
I also have a design for a single tube clock which incorporates a 'smart 
socket'.

[neonixie-l] Re: 7971 Burroughs question

[Paul Andrews]

This is one I made a while back. It uses the tube socket pins that LB(?) 
referred to. I see it isn't very well labelled, in terms of what value of 
resistors to use, and it uses surface mount resistors. Anyway, there it 
is. https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/G9c1wPoq
