Very kewl. I'm interested in your 5971 project. 😊 A lot of work might already be done for you if you look at SmartSockets.
Michail -----Original Message----- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com <neonixie-l@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Duncan Townsend Sent: Saturday, August 20, 2022 6:53 PM To: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com Subject: [neonixie-l] Self-introduction & tube trading Hello everybody! I'm Duncan, an American software engineer by day and vacuum tube enthusiast when I'm not distracted by other things. I have an unreasonable number of pokers in the fire right now, but they include: * a clock based on each of J.B. Dance's Electronic Counting Circuits chapters (how low can I get the active part count without involving silicon components?) * tuning fork timebase for the above clocks * 1j24b (Russian subminiature rod pentode) CPU * 1j25r (even smaller than 1j24b) headphone amplifier In particular, I'm interested in hearing from the experts what kind of fun tube-based displays I might've overlooked for the 1j24b CPU. My current plan is 5971 13-segment tubes (I'm too poor for that many 7971s), but I don't really know what's out there. === I'm also interested in trading to get some of the tubes I admire for their aesthetics. I consider the National NL-90X series (NL-900 no decimal, NL-901 left decimal, NL-902 right decimal, NL-908 both decimals) as well as the Ericsson GR10N tubes some of the most beautiful ever manufactured and would love to trade for/buy some. I have a large number of enormous ICL1-1/7 VFDs as well as some tiny National NL-4998 nixies for trade. I also have the above mentioned sub-subminiature Russian tubes (1c38a triode, 1c38a-q Chinese variant triode, 1j25r pentodes, and tg5r thyratron) as well as their slightly less sub- brethren (1c1a triode, 06p1a pentode, 1t1a thyratron) for anyone who wants to build out their collection of oddities. --Duncan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
