[neonixie-l] David Forbes and cathodecorner.com
I just noticed that cathodecorner.com is down. Does anyone know if David Forbes is still available? Earlier this week, I sent him an email concerning my Nixie watch, purchased last February, has malfunctioned. I never got a reply although the email did not bounce. I hope the website problem is temporary, and that there are no problems. Mort -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.

[neonixie-l] Re: NeoNixie Controller question
Bottom line, the adjustment via the controller had no effect on this accuracy issue. I ended up changing out the TCXO with a new one and..problem solved. No noticeable drift on more than one week. I guess I must have fried the first one during the building of the clock. On Sep 24, 11:14 am, MichaelB wrote: > Let the winging it begin!

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: NeoNixie Controller question
I think that you should have found (unless your clock goes through radical changes in temperature) that there was a time correction that you could apply to make your clock behave "close enough".. Obviously a TCXO is the easiest answer, provided you have $10 to spend on a DS32khz (or know that maxim-ic gives the things away by the fistful if you ask). :D -Adam On Sat, Oct 30, 2010 at 9:46 AM, MichaelB wrote: > Bottom line, the adjustment via the controller had no effect on this > accuracy issue.

[neonixie-l] Re: NeoNixie Controller question
The clock did not seem to respond in any way, even to significant changes in the SW adjustment which led me to believe something was hosed! Yep. I'm with you on the Maxim sample thing!

[neonixie-l] OT: Dave Jones goes to Apex Electronics
Dave Jones, of the EEV Blog, takes a trip to southern California, and tours Apex Electronics: http://www.eevblog.com/2010/10/30/eevblog-124-a-tour-of-apex-electronics/ To those outside the Los Angeles area, this is one of the few electronics surplus places still in existence, in this area. Its located in the north east corner of the San Fernando Valley, still inside incorporated Los Angeles city limits. The San Fernando Valley, or just referred to as 'The Valley', is a valley located on the other side (north) of those hills where the Hollywood sign is located. Hollywood (also inside incorporated LA), and the rest of the LA is south of those hills (referred to as the Hollywood Hills east of the 101 Fwy, and the Santa Monica Mtns west of the 405 Fwy, In between its a toss up). Apex and Sun Valley are located just below the Hansen Dam, which holds back a large water reservoir. When the next earthquake hits, you don't want to be in there. If you're not buried by tons of used test equipment, the dam may break and wash your carcass away. It almost broke in the earthquake of 1971. Apex has a few tubes, but I never saw anything I really wanted. It does have a bunch of old tube sockets. All types. I use to get the unused duo-decal sockets, used by dekatrons (GS10C, 6476A), nomotrons (G10/241E), the E1T counter, and also many CRT tubes, that have 12-pin bases. I don't know if they still have any left. The nixie members, here scour Apex occasionally. I haven't spotted any dekatrons or nixies in the test gear, but you can't see a lot of it, so who knows what's really there. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: NeoNixie Controller question
$10? That is by far worth it considering the time saving in labor alone. :) Glad you got your clock running. Now you have time for the next project.
