Of Nixies and perfboards.

Today I received the 12 Nixie tubes I ordered.
Buying Soviet electronics is not complete without Cyrillic in the packaging.
The tubes arrived in a good state, but have short leads and I had to remove solder from most of them.

I tried using a laser engraver to cut out the holes from the perfboard, but it didn't do much more than just burn the shapes a little bit.

I ordered a a step drill bit and a fortsner bit, as suggested by a friend, to drill the holes. After I finish the perfboard, I can put the dummy parts on it, glue it to the IN-14 board, and finally solder the Nixies.
