Spare IN-14 Nixie Tube for Nixie Star Clocks

The replacement nixie tube came trimmed and got into socket without any difficulty. This is clearly a new item and got shipped from the only factory that still makes them new in Ukraine.They got me the item, exactly as requested, three weeks ahead of schedule out of a war zone.Order with absolute and unquestioned confidence, this seller and their product are pure platinum.

These tubes have wires for soldering directly to a circuit board.They are not pins for fitting into a socket.Here on Amazon is a "conversion kit" that includes pins to solder onto the wires, and a holder/circuit board to secure the pins in the correct orientation.And Amazon also has 14 pin sockets too.

Tube came with missing legs.. The tube is used and very badly removed from whatever it came out of.They look nothing like the picture shown.I am trying to get my money back

The bulbs work as intended. The problem is the life time. Bulbs in about 4 months and keep in mind they take about a month to get to you.

I suppose that the tubes work okay... I wouldn't know because getting all 14 of them perfectly aligned into the socket that is submerged about a half inch below the clock surface of the clock is a skill set that I have not yet perfected after hours of trying. The top surface of the clock can't be removed so that you can't see the socket pin holes directly in order to get a level shot at getting them all to seat properly. Have looked on the net and some experts there make it look easy with a little jiggling. The pins are so thin that they bend very easily if they're all not perfectly aligned. Still looking for a solution. I have four brand new tubes that cost about $30 each and can't use any of them yet.
