[neonixie-l] Re: Nixies INS-1 polarity?

2014-06-03 Thread 'threeneurons' via neonixie-l
The lead with the arrow or bump, is the anode (+). The cathode (-) gets 
eaten away,  so with cold cathode tubes, like gas triggers, the cathode is 
larger. Cathodes on tubes, like nixies and dekatrons, are restricted in 
size and shape, due to their specific functions.

 tried and it works both ways...

and tendency to  wobble . You may want to burn in the in the bulb of 
choice for a at least a week before mounting in a creation.
