Hi All, Just assembling a clock, and I have an intermittent nixie tube ( Rodan GR116's ) that flickers and will not stay on. However just touching the tube with a finger makes it work so assume it is some strange capacitive effect. I am not over driving the tube ( 170v ) and a 10K anode resistor - altering these + / - 10% does not really improve things. I have several of these tubes, half work fine and other half all have this strange effect of working when touched. I know all the tubes are 'ok' as they came from a frequency counter that I powered up and saw them all working before I carefully removed the tubes.
Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers, Paul -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
