Hello All,

New member and I have been reading many posts here and finding some very good and helpful info.  I did a search but so far I have been unsuccessful in finding an Eagle library file for the beautiful Russian IV-11 VFD tube.  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Welcome!

If no-one has one, you can use the Eagle "Soculator" at http://www.desmith.net/NMdS/Electronics/soculator.html - this generates an SCR file that Eagle will accept in the Library Editor to generate a footprint for an arbitrary tube... (including the IV-11)

Have fun

A Mac version for Osmond is here:


I also hacked a version for Osmond that lets you input a main diameter circle rather than the cumbersome pin measurement. If anyone wants this I will post it somewhere.
