You guys can laugh, but I'm starting a 6 shooter B-5750S project.  1968 vintage Burroughs made in Japan.
Small tube, long life.
I'm using socket-pins just in case.

One day, I'll splurge and get some of Dalbor's fantastic tubes!

They are nice tubes. Big digits in a small package. Their .090" pin spacing doesn't quite fit in either 0.100" or 2mm sockets. I use 2mm sockets in my Nixie watches, which takes a bit of lead bending to fit properly. I recommend the machined pin sockets.

I have more than 20 of these if you need some for your Nix watches!
And yes, I am using nice sockets.

You may have seen the post from a while back I found an old Fairchild instrument using them- still works!
