I often use those also.  The Data from the TCA is actually a scan of the 
entire registration file from the RMA, RTMA, EIA, JEDEC and a few other 
names that the used over the years. each file Generally has the Official 
Data sheet, and sometime back and forth between the various makers as 
they wanted to change the specs to conform to what they actually 
produced.  It also included the same information of the 1nxxx and 2Nxxx 
semiconductors.


The TCA folks did a nice index which lets you see when the "release" 
went out as a mailing to the rest of the industry.  This is sometimes 
not the date that the tube was actually first available as the makers 
would try to get a "Socket Win" from Receiver makers in advance of 
letting their competitors what they were planing to come out with.

Probably not as vulnerable as single sideband. :S

Are you sure that it is the multiplexed nixies and not the switching 
supply? I'm just curious at this point, I've always assumed that the 
rapid ionization/de-ionization of the neon would create some RF noise, 
but no real idea. When I built my WWVB nixie clock, I shut down the HV 
supply (and then also by definition the nixies) while listening for 
timesync.

Back on topic slightly, I've found that multiplexed nixie clocks 
interfere terribly with old valve AM radios, partly because the radios 
have poor selectivity, but also due to the wide spectrum of near-field 
interference that poorly screened uP projects emit... AM is of course 
extremely vulnerable to this type of interference.

My handy reference on tubes is from the tube collectors association (one 
of the best 50 bucks spent on information) and includes the "Original" 
data on most types, sometimes there is changes on later versions.

Yes, that is a bit different from an IC or a Nixie tube

Happened to me, too! But I made sure to have the seller send me a

Have you actually tried this one ? There are tons of so called part 
brokers on the web. Most are useless, even if you're a manufacturer. 
For hobbyist they're especially useless.


I thought I had some, but they ended being UHP408 chips. The prefix 
does suggest Sprague. Have you tried Allegro ? That's the name they 
last operated under.
