, and you have 170volts output, then the tube is bad. There is no harm trying other tubes to see. Michail Wilson 206-920-6312 From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of newxito Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2021 8:45 AM To: neonixie-l Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] Nixie 7977 Hi Pierre You may need

Hi Pierre You may need to check that the enable pin on your HV power supply is set to the correct level (depends on the model). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it,

Hi Richard, many thx for your reply. I assume if there is no result, the Nixie is burnt, right? Pierre Le samedi 13 mars 2021 à 23 h 59 min 59 s UTC-5, Richard Scales a écrit : > You only need a single 10k resistor in that circuit. > > In your picture, remove the one at the top with the

You only need a single 10k resistor in that circuit. In your picture, remove the one at the top with the yellow wires, you would be connecting the desired cathode directly to ground. Additionally, you have the tube connected back to front. The circuit you need is as follows: HV output to

Hi Pierre, did you see any light at all from the tube? You may be OK.see Paolo's astute observation from his email. Do you have a multimeter? Have you checked that you have 170V DC (or thereabouts) coming from the little power supply? Note, that the IN-1 tubes have a notoriously short

Hi Nick, Thank you for your quick reply. Is that mean I destroyed the cathodes while testing the tubes? Pierre > Le 2 mars 2021 à 10:10, Nicholas Stock a écrit : > > Pierre, you'll need a resistor in line with the anode otherwise you'll fry > the cathode. Try 10K or so to test the tube. Do

Not only you need the 10k resistor, but you need to ground a cathode. In ASCII drawing: +HV - 10k -[Anode || Desired Cathode] GND In your picture it looks reversed, whch is good since you didn't put the resistor. Paolo On Tue, Mar 2, 2021 at 4:10 PM Nicholas Stock wrote: >

Pierre, you'll need a resistor in line with the anode otherwise you'll fry the cathode. Try 10K or so to test the tube. Do you know that you have 170V on the output of the supply? That tube looks like an IN-1. Welcome aboard! Nick Sent from my iPhone > On Mar 2, 2021, at 07:03, Pierre-Yves
