I was just googling around for some of these at a decent price and ran across this forum. There was a very old thread about these and was curious if anyone knows a reasonably priced source for them. They were laid out like this. Any info would be helpful. I need several of them and $15 a pop is just too much, especially from China :spin:


An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
 
That link didn't work for me. I searched and found one for $8 though.
Won't waste your time to copy and paste my link, since it contains
dynamic crap that might only work for me... Let me instead describe
how you might navigate to it...

Is $15 just the price of the PCB or is that with it fully populated?

that's with the socket and terminals already mounted.

Something like this would be perfect. I can get these for $4 per right down the street. I also see them in hvac equipment for relays that use the same 8 pin connection shape. I guess there aren't any 9 pin relays to make what I'm looking for a common item.

ok. found the ebay ad. That's the first one I found last night when I started looking.

9 Pin Breadboard Prototype Tube Socket for DIY Experimenting | eBay

I've got some regular sockets and some 9 terminal strips. Maybe I'll just mount the sockets on a small bracket and then run leads down to the strip. This is all going on a plank of plywood as part of a test/experimentation board. It would be nice to not eat up so much space though, for each tube. I only need one for what I'm working on now, but if I do something that uses 3 or 4 9 pin tubes, those boards would really help....

Your link doesn't work if I click it.
Your link doesn't work if I copy and paste.

At least I got my link dumbed down to where copy and paste works.
But both ours suffer that you hold the mouse over and see "Rover Ebay"
I have scrubbed my posted links thoroughly. But that rover junk, I don't
know how it gets into the links posted here, or how to circumvent it....

Just a scrubbing experiment, not really expecting link to work...
I put in squeaky clean link at top of this post and diyaudio converts to:

"http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1/?icep_item=&icep_vectorid=229466&icep_ff3=2&pub=5574894652&toolid=10001&campid=5336550170&customid=diyaudio01-20&ipn=psmain&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg"

Which is not a workable substitute for my carefully scrubbed link.
diyaudio is too smart for its own good and fixing ebay links wrong...

You can see it (in chrome) by hovering the mouse.
But its never Rover like that when I edit and scrub the post...

"http://www.ebay.com/usr/pmillett" will putting in quotes stop it??
Yeah, it does, just copy and paste whats between the quote marks.

and

"http://stores.ebay.com/xulingmrs"
