Re: [neonixie-l] How to get IV-11 VFD tubes properly aligned on protoboard

Re: [neonixie-l] How to get IV-11 VFD tubes properly aligned on protoboard
Yep, exactly. I can take a picture of how I place them, but basically it ends up being a sort of square or rectangle. I leave about a centimeter of lead above the protoboard so that the tube can be gently twisted the right way. -Adam On 12/4/2013 2:26 PM, David Forbes wrote: Gideon, The wires are flexible.

Ok I'll see wether i can place them a bit higher as I was pushing them almost against the pcb. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.
