@ve7fim I'll save it in my "cursed memes" folder if you don't mind.

@ve7fim I love weird little doodads like this.

Me too! And they have plenty of unusual uses, too. :)

@ve7fim I saw some neat old boards once that had TIL311's in those sockets. It was SWANK.

@vxo

TIL311s and the similar HP ones are lovely little displays!

I usually don't use sockets like these, and instead make PCBs for the front panel displays, but these are so old school, I just had to grab some.
