Yea, i noticed that lens+nixie tubes could work (never really understood 
why i hasnt been used though. maybe the lenc were too expensive to make?) 
when i messed up with large fresnel lens from old ovehread projecotr :)

[neonixie-l] Re: Which standing tubes have round/smooth tops and where to source them?

[kay486]

there are ZM1040 which look much much better than IN-18s but cost a bit 
more. If you want cheap round tubes then i got bad news for you. You could 
also try the end view nixie tubes, the small ones are still relatively 
cheap ZM1020 and equivalents, but good luck getting ahything bigger than 
2cm digits on those.

Re: [neonixie-l] big tubes in action

[kay486]

my guess would be that these are indeed Z567M they do not match the size as 
you can see the width of the +/- is smaller that the width of the digits. 
You would only need to put the sockets litlle bit higher to match the 
relative position. if you compare Z566M to Z567M they have the same symbol 
width.

[kay486]

Yea, there are some pasive displays with numerals arranged like this, but 
all of them have all the decimal digits as you said. The thing is, that 
they do not count. I understand how it could be beneficial to close all the 
numbers in one envelope if you have 10 of them, but with only 6 you could 
have yoused setup like you explained.
There might be slight benefit, that the ignition voltages are loqer if the 
cathodes are together, not sure about that though.

[neonixie-l] Re: A7001

[kay486]

You can easily identify the cathode in most of the tubes by looking near 
the base of the tube where the wires connect through glass. The anode 
ususly has some sort of insulation, tiny glass tube around the wire or some 
sort of ceramic coating. It has to be coated to prevent undesired glow on 
all the surounding cathodes.

[neonixie-l] Re: Z564S dekatrons

[kay486]

Just an update on the situation: i called the seller and the price around 
25 USD will most likely be possible. Now he has to check how many tubes he 
still has. I should have the answer in about a week or so.

One question, what would be the easiest way to test all the tubes? I do not 
have any dekatron spiners on hand to modify. All i have re couple nixie 
clocks.

[kay486]

Well, i am from czech republic, i was not planing to do a group buy 
initialy. I was thinking more like i would buy the whole lot for somebody 
else. So i need to know the price people would be able to pay so i can see 
if i could buy the tubes in the first place. Hope you understand. I plan to 
call the seller on monday so i can ask him if he still has them.

Well, he said they are NOS and that he has about 20 to 30 tubes. I can ask 
him if he still has them and what would be the price if i get all of them. 
I do not promise anything though, i spoke with him few months ago.

Well, not that hard then. I was wondering if it would be possible that you 
would make a B13B kit in the future? I was offered to buy about 20 to 30 
(seller was not sure) Z564S dekatrons for reasonable price. I do not intend 
to buy them for myslef, but i could get them for somebody else, because 
selling them one by one on ebay would take so long. But if there was use 
for them (B13B spiner kit) they could sell pretty well i can imagine. They 
are really nice tubes (i am not sure about their life and other 
specifications) one of only few dekatrons without the getter mirror.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: ZM1251

Nice and very interesting piece. It seems like the ZM1251 is just a version 
with two decimal points. I wonder if those tubes had long life. Maybe you 
could upload this tube to your site with more photos (when you have time 
ofcrouse) as you do with normal nixie tubes.

[neonixie-l] Re: ZM1251

[kay486]

Interesting device. I found this video showing its capabilities. The thing 
that seemed interesing about the ZM1251 is that in the datasheet it looks 
like there is actual lead for every pixel and it must be relatively old 
device, because the datasheet is from 1973. But i might be wrong, because 
all information i have is the one link i posted.

[neonixie-l] Re: Nixie clock design process

[kay486]

I am not that big fan of the bridge design, because most nixie clock i saw 
just seem to be too tall. Having the base taller than the tubes themselves 
just does not seem right to me. Thats why i also like your designs where 
the middle of the case is recessed down, like in the 2.jpg It would make a 
really nice and original design.

One more thing, for the finished product, PLEASE do not use any of the 
russian tubes, they are not worth it. If you have amazing case, do not ruin 
it with cheap ugly tubes. The IN-8 are best looking russian tubes, yet they 
are ugly compared to like common Z570M. If you plan to go with 
pvelectronics kit, be sure to talk to Pete about the board, i have really 
good experience with him, he is always helpful and what do you know, he 
might adjust his board specificly for this project. Also, i know that he 
has some amazing tubes in stock like ZM1210 or ZM1177. Those tube together 
with your finished design could make an exclusive clock! Make sure to talk 
about your project with him!
cheers

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Fascinating ebay sale ... apparently IN-18 production gear!

[kay486]

The tins contain getters actually. But the thing is that most likely they 
wouldnt be working by now. Also the most important thing that is missing 
there are the tube bases with the metal to glass seals. You can easily etch 
the anode grid and cathodes. But you wouldnt be able to make the bases.
All in all, there is no wa you would make money on that. It would be just 
an interesting project to work on.

[neonixie-l] Re: Six CD 47 / GR 414 Nixies on eBay - what price will it fetch?

[kay486]

Exactly, i can not imagine how sky high the price will be. Curious thing is 
that they are untested.

Re: [neonixie-l] One reason for blue dots in Nixie tubes found - anode mesh n...

[kay486]

Well, i asked about the ungultig marks here before, and yea, i have one 
Z5600M that has blue spots almost on all digits, but i got another three 
tubes which i bough together with the previous one, so they seem to be from 
the same lot, that are perfectly fine.
I also got two dekatrons Z562S that came from ungultig boxes, but 
unfortunately i can not test them (all i know is that they are not leaked) 
could there be a problem with these?
Also about the glowing leads, i found out that it can happen with Z568M / 
Z5680M when you fire them at lower voltages that the recomended ones (im 
talking about NIB tubes) but they are absolutely fine at higher voltages 
though.

[neonixie-l] Testing nixies/dekatrons/neon bulbs without powersuply

[kay486]

Hello,
i do not know if this is commonly known way to test tubes, but i discovered 
that you can test (to some extend) with a CRT television. Basicly you power 
on the tv so it gets lot of static electricity on the glass screen, then 
you just hower the tube with the pins slightly touching the screen while 
moving it all around it, be sure not to shorten out the leads with your 
hand! Then when you think its charged enough, you just take the tube and 
shorten the pins and you should see some random ionization in the tubes! I 
find this a really good and simple way to test the tube for any leaks when 
you do not have any equipment on hand.
I am not sure if it can harm the tube in any way, but i doubt it can. Maybe 
somebody can correct me on this.
I have tried it with quite a few tubes already and it seems to work with 
all nixie tubes, neon filled dekatrons (i havent tried argon ones) and even 
with neon bulbs!

Please let me know what you think about this!

[neonixie-l] Nixie tubes on Stargate SG-1

[kay486]

Well, if we are posting where we spotted nixie tubes / dekatrons / etc. i 
might add this one: you can see nixie tubes on Stargate, season 10, episode 
19 around 10:34 (you can check this 
[link], 
its not the best quality though) They are even counting up nicely! And im 
pretty sure they have been there many times, i just havent noticed them :)

[neonixie-l] Z5600M stamped "ungültig"

[kay486]

Hello there, i just bought four Z5600M tubes in original boxes, never used 
(i was even the first one to open them). They all work just fine, except 
for one wich has some blue parasitic glow on few of the wires. The thing 
is, there is "ungültig" stamp on all of the boxes. Im not really sure what 
it means, google translate isnt too specific. But im guessing it means that 
they are expired maybe? If so, whats the reason to stamp something like 
that on tubes, i mean, wouldnt all of the tubes be expired by now?
Im just interested in the story behind this, how things were done in the 
past days :)

Well, i think that somebody here should have the means to refill it pretty 
soon (even with mercury)! Re-pinch the leads and you should be good to go. 
I think it would be worth it with tube like this!
I wonder, do you know where these tubes were originaly used?

[kay486]

It would be so awesome to see it being used. It even comes with the getters 
i think (those cans labeled ГАЗОПОГЛОТИТЕЛИ) I doubt its going to sell, but 
im sure, that quite a few people in this group that are trying to make 
nixie tubes should contact the seller and ask them if they could buy some 
parts, i imagine they can be super useful.

I too agree that we should be able to tell the others what we are selling, 
but only every once in a while. Most of us dont do any of this for living 
and if you happen to sell something not so common you should be able to let 
other people know.

Im not sure, but i think you might be able to make the grid from multiple
