What they don't tell you in the book is that you do NOT need that expensive blue Press 'n' peel stuff to make your PCBs. You can laser toner just as well onto glossy magazine paper - even if it has colour printing on it. I use matt Epson inkjet paper, because I have it here and I know it works well for me. Some say that the cheapest glossy inkjet paper from Staples works well too, but it has to be cheap, if it expensive and has a polyethylene coating or similar it just makes a mess.

[neonixie-l] Nixie tube Ornament- - - COMPLETED!
My first nixie project is completed! Thanks to a lot of you who helped me, and gave advice along the way. I felt so proud and amazed that My first circuit, and then layout, and then circuit board works! I used a Picaxe 08M for the controller, and the usual 74141(Russian) to drive a IN-14 Nixie. It displays the date of 12-25-2010, with a little flair. I have photos and 2 videos to post, that are on photobucket, and I'll be posting the better pics in the files section later. Thank you all for the help, again. Shane -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.

[neonixie-l] Nixie tube prices (Was: RFT Z568 for sale on ebay ;))
It is just insane how Nixie tube prices have increased. I have been collecting these tubes since 2006 or so I guess, so I also missed the startoff. What can the veterans around here tell us? Some anecdotes about CD47 tubes for 80 bucks? ;-) But I am seeing a "materialistic" tendency. Large (and quite common) tubes as the IN-18 are increasing in value, whereas interesting and quite collectable tubes (like the GI-21 for example) still go for $35. Good for me ;-) Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To post to this group, send an email to neonixi...@googlegroups.com.
