I'm not surprised. Just a few hundred microamps is enough for visible glow, and those transistors can have current gain in the hundreds. Most flux is hygroscopic, so it pulls moisture out of the air, and then the residual salts make it conductive. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
