Question about Russian IN-16 nixie tubes

[Leroy Jones]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone on here might know what the pitch is

of these edge connectors on these little IN-16 boards.   I will use them

as-is provided I can find the matching female edge connectors.

Heads up, I've had terrible experiences with IN-16 tubes, they leak a lot.... don't know if others on the forum have had similar issues?

IN-16 tubes are leaky?    I wonder if they had been de-soldered.    Wire ended tubes being heated and pulled often causes leaks.

I am wondering what luck I might have if I get some of these IN-16 tubes still attached to their original boards.

What does everyone think of that idea?

I've replaced two of six in a PV clock with new tubes to start.  About 5 years of use and still running OK otherwise.  Tubes replaced were definite leaker.
