[neonixie-l] How to mount IN-9 tubes

[alb.001 alb.001]

 
  Use a black backer board   ( you can spray paint some pc board with black spray paint ) then use black thread - I use black silk suture thread to support them. Almost invisible and very strong but with some give if needed.

I would possibly use a piece of rubber tube where you can place the tube in, just like a few kits place their colon tube

See https://www.nocrotec.com/shop/images/content/colon-02.jpg

Another possible solution would be to use a slotted-pc board and then glue in the whole tube base with kind of silicon glue (sticky but flexible).

Another version would be this:

I'm looking for suggestions on how to securely mount these tubes. If possible, I would prefer to mount at the bottom only so that the top of the tubes are free and clear.

I'd probably have a flat board of some kind behind them and then use something 
like plastic wire clamps with foam lining to hold the tubes in place.  Similar 
to how CRTs used to be mounted at the neck.

Hi John,

I can't give too much advice but I have learned that for both in-9 and in13
you want to make sure there is a bend in the leads so that the tubes can
move around without putting stress on the glass of the tube.

[neonixie-l] How to mount IN-9 tubes

[John Murphy]

I'm building an audio spectrum analyzer using the MSGQ7 chip, an Arduino, 
and 14 IN-9 tubes (7 Left channel and 7 Right).  I've got everything 
working on the bench, but now it's time to get things mounted for display!  
I'd like to have the tubes stand vertically next to each other.  I'm 
looking for suggestions on how to securely mount these tubes.  If possible, 
I would prefer to mount at the bottom only so that the top of the tubes are 
free and clear.
