Or else, how about this one? http://www.geocities.ws/podernixie/nixie/index-en.html Or, jee (although through a transformer), another one: http://www.ledsales.com.au/kits/in14_clock_instructions.pdf Michel On Feb 27, 10:03 pm, Nick <n...@desmith.net> wrote: > On Feb 27, 10:42 am, Cobra007 <mic...@xiac.com> wrote: > > > I don't know how many clocks will run over 180V but I did read > > somewhere that some people just take the rectified mains power and use > > that to drive the nixies. > > Nobody in their right mind has used rectified mains for nixies for a > long long time.
