I findit amusing that a precision watch timing instrument has a 4 digit
display.

[neonixie-l] Re: Neons for all!

[Neil QQ]

Memotronics 
 
is a good source for the hi-brite C2A and A3C bare lamps.  They come with 
2" (50 mm) leads.  (US company)

Has anyone had success in reviving NOS (emphasis on the O) neon lamps?  I 
acquired LT2-32-2T lamps (1" bulb length).  I've tried running them at 
elevated currents (2x to 10x) with limited success.  Out of the box, the 
electrodes only light the top 1/4 to 1/3 of the electrode length.  After 
over-driving them rather severely (~10X for 1 hour) the lit electrode 
length extends to about 1/2.

Thanks Nick and Graham. I will look into my end and see if I can find 
out what is up.


Thanks again!

We're looking at this but first impressions are that your membership

Are you sure that it's not a caching issue and something that a hard

[neonixie-l] Re: OT: Secret Life of Components

['Nick' via neonixie-l]

I met Tim a few times years ago - In another life I used to make 
solid-state Tesla coils and electromagnetic can crushers/disk platter 
launchers using massive low-ESR capacitor banks - the UK TC group had (and 
still have) an annual bash up at the Cambridge Museum of Technology 
 .

A long time ago, probably 15 years ago or more, Tim used to come to watch 
us blow stuff up and throw some really good bolts of lightning. Sometimes 
it was our own kit that exploded, other times we used a lot of thermite 
(allegedly) . Sometimes it got very very scary - in 2008 we had a rather 
unexpected uncontrolled rapid disassembly 
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYMckRUXgEs (filmed by my youngest son 
who was also interviewed by the BBC!).

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Neons for all!

[Adrian Godwin]

I've got a VFD clock to build sometime. It's a multidigit tube with wires
at both ends. I thought I'd extend and strengthen the wires to support the
glass by soldering them into fine brass tubing as used by modelmakers.
It'll probably turn out a mess because of all the different radii but might
be OK on simple neons, though brass probably doesn't match the Dalibor
bases too well. Maybe nickel plated brass.

I got so disappointed at how extended neon leads on colons looked - I ended 
up making a tiny PCB which sits inside the glass tube with a metal base to 
match Dalibors tubes. 
I used to spend ages with enamel copper wire and such like - not any more!

Nice that they still sell the NE-2's with the 60mm leads.  Really wish 
someone would offer those with even longer leads so you don't have to 
extend the wire when making clocks with larger tubes.
