There are vacuum gauges and then there are VACUUM GAUGES.
Those are for Auto Air conditioning where they want to get 99% of the
air out. To make a Nixie, I think you have to ge

Sorry to hijack a little, I was reading this very interesting thread

Hey Jens-
The 'bakeout' cycle of processing any glass vacuum device is
critical for long life-
Every surface, and every material in the bulb has a film of water
vapour on it, as well as anything else you left there with your
fingers.
The water has terrible effects on any filament, and even a

Hi John,
thanks for your links, they all look interesting.
Another idea for the inductive heater: There are so many inductive hot
plates around that work exactly this way. Couldn't I use one of these?

Yeah, I'm looking for a crossfire and hand torch myself. As the neon business

It couldn't barium getter if you want use mercury. Barium getter "exchange"
another gases to mercury vapour:/.
It's recommended "shining" tubes to pump system. RF heating is good, but
sometimes the better is "shining".

Hi John,
I think I will have to try with my equipment for now - the big
investment I will do is a decent burner, but I cannot afford purchasing
a top-notch pump and so on.
The heaters from Neon John are quite beyond my budget, sadly, but I

Not really. Many light bulbs contain various gases (nitrogen, argon, xenon,
bromium, iodine, etc.) and work just fine. Most gases won't harm a light bulb,
even if there's some residual oxygen, it'll ox
Hey Dylan,
cool video, many thanks.
If you've got any kind of spark coil, you don't need a vacuum
gauge. The color of the discharge in the gas remaining in the tube
will tell you the vacuum.
Sounds nice! But I think I like the absolute measuring better because
this way I can measure Pasc

You'll really need a 2-stage pump to attain enough vacuum (i've been
using an old Welch for 15 years)..
