I've had many of these clocks fail, repeatedly. It always seems to be the HV capacitor. Sometimes it takes out the fuse, sometimes it doesn't. I've had a few where the AC adapter has died. At this point when I get one back for repair, I socket the capacitor because it is a given that I'll see that clock again for the same problem. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
