2019-10-09 Thread Bill Notfaded
I just bought another one of those power supplies Paul!  They're awesome and 
work perfectly for what we love!  The ten turn potentiometers and going up to 
500 volts works great for even dekatrons!  I like the design of them too... 
they have that old school feel with the knobs, build quality, solid, strong... 
even the handle on top is awesome!  The outputs fit the standard two banana 
plug connectors.  What more could you ask for except maybe size but with those 
beautiful big LED displays I say bring it on brother!  Had anyone made a six 
digit clock with that IN-28 boards yet?  Wow it's BIG but hot dang!!!  That's 
some cool stuff there!!!  I love it!!

I've used an INS1 as a colon in one of my clocks.  They tend to flicker 
sometimes.  I've been running one for a while and it was fine for several 
days.  It flickered occasionally for a few more days and has since 
stabilized.  They look nice so hopefully they just take some time to 
settle.  Let me know how they work for you when you get around to using 
them.

I suppose you could have a PIR sensor halt the clock updates so it doesn't

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: I'm Back: ZM1022 and B-7971

2019-10-09 Thread Robert G. Schaffrath
That link is not working but a search of the forum turned this thread up:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/neonixie-l/shorted$20segment|sort:date/neonixie-l/w4YmXnY9dgE/8o-AsZZyBQAJ

I assume that is the thread you were referring to. I'll have to give it a 
try. If the tube breaks then so be it. About all it is good for is making 
either an "A" (8 with bottom off) or "P" for an AM/PM indicator. 20+ years 
ago or so I stupidly cut off the pin for the #13 segment because it was 
shorted but it could be repaired and used again. Especially considering the 
value of the tubes it would be a minor inconvenience.

I'll have to dig the tube out this weekend and give the repair process a 
shot.
