RE: [neonixie-l] Re: Making Nixie Tubes
What is the 'ceramic paint', visible in many Russian nixies, deketrons and vfd tubes? May be this ia an good alternative for home-made tubes! eric -Original Message- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of A.J.

It looks like it might be a tiny ceramic bead, but now we're wondering if it is really mica. Depends on the nixie. I've seen ceramic, mica, and glass. Any would work, I imagine. I got a quote for tiny ceramic rings for this purpose, but it was too expensive for me. Perhaps glass seed beads would work (I've used these to make crackle neon tubing, and they worked fine). You'd have to make your support rods thin enough to fit through the beads, naturally. One thing you usually can't see without disassembling a nixie, is that most of them have a section of tiny glass tubing that's fit over each metal support post, before the cathodes and ceramic spacers are threaded on.

Re: [neonixie-l] Bellingham WA visit
I live in the Seattle area, Bellingham is quite a drive north of here. There is tons of stuff to do, though. If you are into hiking, then you should pick up a copy of this book before you go: http://www.amazon.com/Day-Hike-North-Cascades-Trails/dp/157061315X/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8qid=1308030246sr=8-3 It all depends on how much time you've got available to you. If you have more than a day, you might consider driving down to seattle to spend a night, just to take in the touristy seattle things. -Adam On Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 10:38 PM, lai...@wcoil.com wrote: Anybody have any recommendations for activities around Bellingham WA.

Re: [neonixie-l] Bellingham WA visit
Guess I am close to Adam. Not sure what to suggest, although you got me into thinking about looking for antique type shops - old TV stores, etc. Maybe a find for nixie? Probably not, but can't hurt, although not worth the drive for me to go towards bellingham. Michail In a message dated 6/13/2011 10:46:47 P.M.

Re: [neonixie-l] Bellingham WA visit
I've noticed that before too, Michail. Something to keep in mind if I ever need to do any nixie swapping with you. :) I wouldn't spend any time trying to find nixies in bellingham. Enjoy the area. If you've never been here, then I definitely recommend picking out a nice dayhike and taking your camera. Not a lot better to do in bellingham anyways.. Well, you could also drive north to Vancouver BC, that's a nice town. Don't forget your passport if you leave the country, they'll let you out fine but getting back in is hard these days... :S -Adam On Mon, Jun 13, 2011 at 10:50 PM, micha...@aol.com wrote: Guess I am close to Adam.
