Yep, thought so, sir Nick.  Seems a shame to drive these beauties any any 
other way than direct drive.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Cool clock with 6 x Z568M + 6 spare tubes...

[Dalibor Farný]

Hi,

Fatter digits for big tubes would mean (much) higher current, which is
proportional to digit surface. This mean higher power consumption and also
earlier end of the tube because of shorts caused by higher amount of
sputtered metal from cathodes deposited on insulator rings..
but it is worth of experiment, one day..

[neonixie-l] Looking to trade for 6 IN-16s (or buy at a reasonable price)

[michael ohara]

I thought I had 12 IN-16s when I ordered this clock board, but I can't find 
the silly things.

I do have a B7971 to trade and a ton of IN-14 tubes which I'd trade 3:1 for 
new or used tubes in good condition with spacers of the same color.

Thanks

[neonixie-l] Re: IV-21 Specifications

[Ben Pye]

Having recently received the displays I've written up what I believe to be 
an accurate English datasheet for the display. Seems accurate to what I 
have observed though the descriptions may be off as I am fairly new to 
these sorts of displays.

[Wayne de Geere III]

Thanks for posting that. If nobody else is going to move on this, I think I 
want to. I don’t have any Z568/Z5680 clocks from anybody besides Jeff Thomas / 
Michael Barile. It will be such a nice addition to the collection.

well even ZM1042 / Z5660M look so much better than IN-18, there is a huge 
difference in quality/appearance when it comes to the russina tubes.

I'm sure some nixie zealots might disagree with me here, but in my opinion 
the cost vs. size math doesn't justify spending* that* much on a 50mm tube. 
The IN-18 tubes are an impressive 40mm, for about 1/10 the cost.

Despite a few temptations, I have stayed away from digits larger than 20mm, 
partly for cost reasons, but also because the large digits seem skinny & 
dim compared to smaller tubes. It appears that cathodes are not made 
'fatter' for larger tubes, probably because that would impair visibility of 
other digits and they would also reflect more.

I see 'Fake Gigantic Nixies'  in my future.

Yup - noticed the single-frame reference to the RPi - it seems that is used 
for the LED display - the Kinetic is also mentioned there.

Just thought it was a really fun installation...
