I gave that idea a lot of thought, but I decided against it for 2 reasons: #1 It will waste a fair amount of energy. There were several methods I analyzed using the power sources I had available in the design, and this was the closest to a perfect solution.
#2 Using the center-tapped transformer made the best sense because it simplified the bias circuit, and using AC resulted in "averaging" that circumvents brightness variation seen in VFDs with a DC filament supply. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
