ASSEMBLY OF THE PCB
4.1 1mm Sockets For Nixie Tubes
There are 66 individual sockets that need to be placed. Note that
there are 2 holes per tube with NO SOCKET.
Be sure to insert the sockets from the front side of the PCB. This is
the side with substantially more white component markings on it.
Insert and solder all the sockets for each tube at a time, before
moving to the next tube location. Be sure to insert the sockets
FROM the tube side of the PCB – the side with the tube markings.
After inserting the sockets, the best way to hold all the sockets in
place whilst soldering them is to insert a tube.
