thanks as always

Tony, I have used small #6 ring terminals to attach the copper wire to the screws that secure the coil to the main board. Do you think they will interfere with making of the case? Any reason why I should not use these terminals? I plan to substitute with insulated terminals. I have attached a photo ...

thanks Tony. I never even considered the possibility of the glass breaking. I learn something from you every time

I want to know if the pins that are unused on the Nixies can be cut without affecting the function of the Nixie tubes ? Of course, I realise that the Nixie can never be used anywhere else. Just a theoretical query?

I finished One row of the board, one board coil and one Piece and It WORKED. Thanks Tony for all the help. Now only 63 Board coils and 32 pieces left. For a physician with no knowledge of electronics it would not have been possible without help from Tony.

thanks tony

so 34 0r 35awg would be better?

Would 33 AWG be an adequate substitute?

Tony,

what is the gauge of the copper wire we are using for the coils? I do not have a micrometer to make the measurement myself.

Thank you tony. I am working slowly with care so that it works the first time.
