A man after my own heart! I work from sketches too until I finalise a 
design. Sometimes the sketch is all that the clock is made from as I am lax 
in detailing projects.

I like working with suspended displays, yours looks like it will be a good 
one. Brass and copper go with Nixies like cheese on toast.
Steampunk always allows you to think out of the box and get creative as 
there are so many options when turning a though into reality.

Keep us all posted on your progress.

I forgot to add this.

For gas soldering of copper fittings I made up a fire proof station from 
25mm vermiculite the material that is used to insulate walls from multi 
fuel stoves. I made two plates about 200mm square and screwed them together 
with long wood screws to make a 90 degree join. I used the off cuts to 
level components being soldered together.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Rare Nimo Tubes

2016-10-13 Thread Dylan Distasio
Does anyone have experience undervolting these to 2kV?  I see on the
datasheet that this moves it significantly down the brightness curve, but
am wondering how noticeable it is in practice.

I was thinking of picking up an Emco F20 PS which while not as cheap as I'd
like seems like an easy way to get 2kV for a noob.  The next model up is
3kV and I would rather not overvolt as I'm concerned it will shorten the
tube life (not sure if that is actually true if current stays the same
though).

Thanks,
Dylan
