Right, I realize now it would be redundant. The first thing I wanted that lead me to the nocrotec sockets was, a socket of any kind. I wanted the ability to remove the IN-8's without de-soldering them. The lighted part was nice bonus. However, yes I suppose I could just use the sockets supplied with the nocrotec base kit and put them into your board. Basically I realized that this would not meet my desire to be neat and plug-and-play. To be able to go from the nixie tube contact pads through circuit traces to the ribbon cable. Given the choice I would prefer to have a single integrated board and discard the six individual lighted socket boards I bought. A single board with integrated led's. A note on the led power, depending on how I get power to the LED's perhaps you could run that part of the circuit to a separate two pin connector? Again, I'm not sure at this moment where I can tap into the main board for power. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
