Vacuum tube (8 pin) octal prototyping board enclosure

thingiverse

My custom-built breadboard for vacuum tube experimentation. I discovered these 8-pin octal vacuum tube prototype boards on eBay: http://ebay.to/2ycTtaW EDIT: I opted to use banana jacks as the common connection, since not all banana jacks have the same screw diameter. You can see the updated files attached. Yes, I know the "3" text isn't bold (I blame 123Design), but it is still highly usable. Better to ship it than fix this minor issue. The color codes I used on my banana jacks represent a different pin (mostly for a dual triode). Blue indicates the grid. Yellow represents the Cathode. Red signifies the High Voltage. Green shows the heaters. Be sure to check your data sheet to determine which pins correspond to your tube. Your tube may be distinct. I thought it would be a good idea to enclose my vacuum tube prototyping board to add another layer of safety when working with high voltages (they can kill you if you're not careful). You are using high voltage at your own risk. My suggestion is for beginners to stick with lower voltage projects and use this printed part and this DIY project instead. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2543560 http://diyaudioprojects.com/Solid/12AU7-IRF510-LM317-Headamp
