PCB Footprints for Valve / Tube Bases

Hi All,

Just a follow up to my last question,

I've been looking for PCB footprints for valve bases, 7,8,9 pin etc,
to use in PCB123. I want to design some PCB's for the RCA BC-2b, and Altec 1566.

Had some advice off Jakob regarding different valve base dimensions, in particular, having to measure each one , because different makes are, well , different !

At the moment, I'm still off work, and ALL of my tooling and measuring stuff is locked up in my locker at work.

you have to believe me when i say this :shock:

what PCB footprints are you chaps using ?
and for what base (manufacturer )

any advice, is there PCB design software available with valve bases in the library ?

any help is much appreciated

Hello DaArry,

Thanks for the info :thumb:

I'm now trying out Eagle, but how do you make the autorouter route just one track ?
I have only the need for the normal bottom track.

Best Regards
