RE: [neonixie-l] nixie clock using trigger tubes

Cool! Very unusual clock! Do you use  MTX90?  Do you think this version is more 
stable/reliable than your previous one on  NE-2 bulbs?

I recently completed a nixie clock without any transistors, microcontrollers or 
other ICs, instead using trigger tubes to implement the digital counters:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3PBJUcKeoo

Actually, I'm not even using the 'trigger' function of these tubes, they are 
just used as neon lamps with a large difference between strike and maintaining 
voltage. It's this difference which allows one to build counters with them. 
I'll publish a more detailed description on my website later on.

Some may know that I built a similar clock over ten years ago:
  http://pa3fwm.nl/projects/neonclock/
That clock used regular NE-2 style neon lamps for the logic; unfortunately it 
became unreliable, as the lamps' properties changed with time. I hope the new 
clock will turn out to be more reliable...

  Pieter-Tjerk

I just snagged the last of 11 IN-23s for sale on eBay (a twelfth one was 
auctioned off first):

Definitely brand new. My question is what Cyrillic characters can it display? I 
assume that they would mainly be the first letters of words like "hours" and 
such.

 

Anyone?

Hi Guys,

 

Not very often I would post a clock in here, you would all get bored - but this 
one is rather neat and thought you would like to see it.

The 'Tesla' clock made for a client in Singapore! Slightly Steampunk but once 
shipped will probably never be seen again!

RE: [neonixie-l] Second Scope Clock

2012-11-13 Thread Konstantin
Hi Grahame,

When you have your final version of Scope clock 2, It  would be great for me
to order a few kits or PCB sets, in case you are going to make prof
boards...

Please also let me know if you still have your Pro PCB VFD Approx Clock for
sale.

I've asked this on another forum a few days back, either no-one knows or its
a quiet forum.

I have a couple of 8 digit vfd tubes, with seperate grids, leads all at one
end, I got them thinking they were iv18's, but when they arrived they are
smaller, does anyone have any idea what they'll be, they are about 10mm dia
and 75 long.

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: Elektronika 7-06M

2012-08-25 Thread Konstantin
Hi Charles,
In my  Elektronika 7-06K  clock,  transformer is quite big, primary winds
are 0.35mm diameter (!!!)  and it looks like about 100-200W, no idea why
it's so big, probably they just used the standard one they had in stock, but
I have measured power and clock takes only 18-20W, so I am sure, the use
just one wind would be  OK and as far as I remember, when I disassembled and
investigated lots of circuits in the past ;-), there were lots of
transformers with  double 110V winds and they used switch on the device
back to change the voltage and I am quite sure that they were not used in
parallel  and  just one or 2 in series winds have been used.
I also never seen  any Soviet  transformers with fuse or thermal breaker
inside transformer, they always used external fuse only  ;-(

Only catch with only using one winding is that it handles all the power. 
  Running 110volts rather than 220, of course means that the current
required doubles.  If you connect both windings in parallel, each takes half
the required current, and so they each carry the same load as if the two
were in series on 220.

I don't know if the soviet designers were into using fusible links in
transformers.  Many UL/CSA transformers have a "weak" link in the windings,
so over-current will open the primary.  To keep UL and CSA happy, that link
tends to be on the inside of the winding so that a consumer would not defeat
the protection.

Hi John,

I thought that instead of 2 serial connected winds, for 110V supply to use
only 1 wind, so there is  no cross phase  problem there. Or am I missing
something?

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: Elektronika 7-06M

2012-08-25 Thread Konstantin
IV-26 has been manufactured in 3 types, although all types are the same in
dimensions and  dot sizes, type 1 has  wires connected to each individual
dot, but type 2 has dots 1 and 2 connected together,  dots 3,4, 5 are also
grouped and 7,8 .  So type 2 tube has less wires and designed to use in
clocks like Electronika 7-06, type 3  has other dots grouped together and
for use in clocks like Electronika  7-06M

I don't know what he has in his stock, but I had been thinking of asking him

about some of the more obscure IV-26 or IVLM1-1/7 types, especially the 
orange or red phosphor variants.  Then you mentioned the type 2 tubes, and 
it occurred to me he might be able to source those.

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: Elektronika 7-06M

2012-08-25 Thread Konstantin
Hi Terry,

Thanks for your info on Electronica 7 clock, helped me a lot, as I got big
one, as a gift, and have played with it yesterday - 
- one tube has been broken in transit and I have to replace it with IV-26
type 1, as I cannot find type 2 tube, even on ebay or in Russia  yet...

My clock is quite young, mage in 1998, has all features of  06K model and 11
tubes per digit  plus, looks like, there is board to display temperature, 
but I have no idea what temperature sensor should be used with it...

Clock transformer  has 2 winds rated for 110volts connected in series, so I
believe,
it's quite simple to re-solder one wire for  one wind use for 110-120Vmains,
as in USA.
