7971 Burroughs question

[SD]

Hello

I was referred to this mail list, thank you

I am sitting on for years a 7971 that I want to use/adapt but cannot find any sockets from ebay that are not very expensive. I do not want to permanently solder to a perfboard, etc.  these things are super pricey now. 

any help appreciated

thanks

scott

The socket type is SK-137, and if you can’t find any NOS ones, you can always make your own using tube socket pins, like this: eBay item #403434590507

This is one I made a while back. It uses the tube socket pins that LB(?) referred to. I see it isn't very well labelled, in terms of what value of resistors to use, and it uses surface mount resistors. Anyway, there it is. https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/G9c1wPoq

I have sockets for these. There are also 'smart sockets' which include a PIC microcontroller which does all the 'heavy lifting' making it very easy to drive.
I also have a design for a single tube clock which incorporates a 'smart socket'.

Thanks for the info.  What are the pin dimensions/diameter?  I tried some pins i had from other projects but the Burroughs’ are too large to fit. 

Thanks

I should have guessed, thanks very much.  Now, if I could only move these projects beyond glacial pace….
