OK, that was quick. Opened the box, all parts appeared to be in good shape, but no documentation of any kind. If I could prevail on the other builders for a copy of the instructions/schematics, it would speed up my build. Thanks; -Bill- On Friday, May 21, 2021 at 6:23:56 PM UTC-7 Bill

I have an Aneng UT61e; cheap but quite good. One of my scopes has a pair of 100x probes that lets me look at a few kV, but I was too lazy to bring it up today. If I run into problems I'll post some screenshots. After installing the diff-amp transistors and Q1, current-drain increased to 360mA.

Paying full attention - what model DMM do you have if you can't directly connect it? I have an 87V I'm happy to connect as it's rated for 1KV. On Friday, May 21, 2021 at 11:38:27 PM UTC+1 gregebert wrote: > UPDATE 1: I built the power supply/driver board and completed some basic > testing. I

UPDATE 1: I built the power supply/driver board and completed some basic testing. I installed all components EXCEPT the transistors for the diff-amp that drives the CRT. The standby current at 12V is zero. The HV supply can be enabled by grounding the POWER_ON signal; that causes the inverter

I designed a nixie about 50 years ago that used all 74xx logic and a few discrete transistors. It was wired point-to-point to the IC’s (no sockets) and it ran for 35+ years. The only logic mistake that I made was that I did the AM/PM indicator and was all proud of it and someone pointed out

I always wanted to design a nixie clock that uses just 74xx ICs. I know that there are some schematics available but just copying a design is not fun. Recently, I watched a video from CouriousMarc with an intro to a digital logic circuit simulation software called logisim-evolution. I think

Richard, A single push-pull HV driver chip will not be able to drive a multiplexed display. The reason is that it only connects each tube element to either 0V or 180V. It is not capable of leaving an element disconnected. On Thu, May 20, 2021, 8:45 PM Richard Scales wrote: > Sorry, I mean
