Ha-Ha! That would be a hilarious addition to a wristwatch....I use a flyback converter to generate the anode-voltage without a multiplier. Actually it's a 0B2 regulator tube that I accidentally fried with excess current. I was hoping to get a nice glow from it for another nixie project, but sadly the purplish glow is hidden inside. I wanted to abuse the large metal 'can' inside the tube as a large glowing cathode. Years ago I did this with a 0A2; nice glow. I got a bit carried away and pumped so much current thru it the innards got red-hot and melted the glass, which subsequently shrivelled. Unfortunately youtube didn't exist in 1978 so the whole 10-15 minute death-sequence of the straining & buzzing 300V power supply and brightly-flashing 0A2 is forever lost. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
