1mm Sockets For Nixie Tubes (ZM1020 / Z560M / GN-4 PCB)
There are 66 individual sockets that need to be placed. Note that there
are 2 holes per tube with NO SOCKET.
Place each socket loosely as shown below:
Be sure to insert the sockets FROM the tube side of the PCB – the side
with the tube markings.
Then place a hard flat object on the sockets to keep them in place as you
flip the PCB over and solder each socket in place.
