1mm Sockets For Nixie Tubes
There are 66 individual sockets that need to be soldered in. The best
method is as follows. Place all sockets into the holes, noting that for each
tube there are three holes that have no socket as marked on the PCB.
When all sockets have been placed, place a flat and hard object over the
top of the sockets, and turn the PCB over so you can solder from the
underside. Be sure to insert the sockets FROM the bottom side of the PCB
– the side with the tube and markings.
