Re: [neonixie-l] One-Bit Digital Clock
slipped back in time to the 1960's That would make sense. After all, much of it came from the 60's originally. The nixie dekatron tubes (and their oddball sockets), the 6211 twin triode (used as a flip-flop that also directly drives the nixie), and the 6.3V filament transformer were all obtained back when I was a drug-addled hippie in college. Actually, the whole thing was constructed from junk-box parts that I already had lying around. Maybe it got homesick and went on a nostalgia trip.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Questions regarding IV-17 or IV-14 vfd tubes.
Well, as a newb, I do not how to do AC filament drive so I settled for DC. Since I will use tube play later on, Would you mind show me some good resourse explain how to do it? Ｉ appreciate any help!

Beg pardon. I had originally written 4.7 ohms, changed one instance, not the other. On Wednesday, July 22, 2015 at 8:43:22 AM UTC-7, I wrote: Yellow violet gold ?? Try again.
