Hello! I made a silly mistake while putting the clock together. As you can see on the images I soldered the tube holder the wrong way around. And I had to use jumper wires to bring the clock to life. My solder pump can't really desolder the pin headers (or maybe I am doing it the wrong way). Is it possible to order just a spare tube/holder/header?
Any help is appreciated..
Cheers from snowcovered Switzerland!

De-soldering anything with that many pins is difficult. One approach is to remove the plastic bridge between the header pins and de-solder them one at a time.

Would that be the only reasonable solution? I'll give it a try..

Update: Since there is a 10% discount and some spares inside the store, I've ordered a few things more.. That will teach me a lesson
Thanks anyways for helping me out!

you can get just a replacement tube set as well, in the shop.
