I have enough of the very expensive parts (the tubes) but I missed out on
the boards years ago. I do not fire up my old MM5311 based clock much,
built in 1979/1980, as the multiplexing whine bothers me now. The six tubes
I was able to buy a box of 100 for $15.99 back in 2019. I noticed that the
glass color tended to vary from almost clear to dark. in the lot I tested a
few for a period of time and found, oddly enough, the dark colored glass
ones seemed to fare better. I only tested about 10 bulbs in total but
I have a 15" Micron branded Trinitron monitor that I purchased back in 1999
for around $130. Used it for many years. I eventually switched to an LCD
and brought the monitor to the office for safe keeping. We eventually
ditched all of the CRT based monitors at the office except for one on a
I recall that back in the late 1990's, my local post office had a giant
USPS logo'ed LED clock on the wall behind the counter that counted down to
the millennium. I was very impressed with it and wondered what they would
do with it after the count hit zero on January 1, 2000. Well it turns out
Over a year ago I purchased three of the four-digit Chinese IN-12 clocks
with the LED background lights. Of those, two of them were complete junk
and AliExpress refunded my money so I only paid USD$20 for the one good
clock (I offered to return the bad ones but they did not want them -

I got my first board from Poly Paks sometime in the late 1970’s. Probably
paid about $4 if I recall. One tube had shorted segments. I was about 15.
Then in 1979 I decided to build a clock and bought three boards from
Meshna Electronics. After I assembled that, I decided I would get spare

Back in the late 1970's, I purchased an old ARC-44 radio that came with a
warning about Cobalt-60. Seems the 5829/WA and 5787/WA tubes contained
Cobalt-60. However, with a half life of 5.3 years, the tubes showed no
activity on a Geiger counter. By the time I got the radio as surplus, three
I always found inductors to be the bane of electronics projects. Resistors,
capacitors and other discrete components were always readily available in
standard values but inductors were that odd item that you often wound up
having wind yourself on a core that itself was difficult to obtain.
I have a 1st generation Honda Insight hybrid made in 2000. It has a DC-DC
converter that produces very clean power (it takes the 144 VDC and down
converts it to high amperage 12-14 VDC). The voltage does swing between
approximately 12.1 VDC to 14.1 VDC which is the normal range for an
