I too have been in an altered state for some time now. I'll have to re- watch the movie as I don't remember seeing those. Been awhile. Dennis On 11 Apr, 10:35, Gene Segal wrote: > Just watched Altered States with William Hurt, 1980.  Besides being a great > psychological thriller, there is a lab

Definately keep the calculator intact. It should be possible to restore it to it's former glory. $5? Wow! Nigel. - Original Message - From: Daniel McDonald To: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, April 11, 2011 6:33 PM Subject: [neonixie-l] Monroe Calculator as Source

I have a Monroe 620 Calculator that I bought a long time ago, intending at the time to use its Nixie tubes for some other project, and I am now questioning the wisdom of that train of thought. It's got 13 tubes in it, I think all of them work. According to Rick Bensene, they are "JPC B-5755's

Re: [neonixie-l] Clock readout based on changing resistance Ohmmeter

Use a CD4066 or a modern equivalent. I think it would work if the ohmmeter range (balancing resistor) was chosen >> the Ron of the switch. I really like the coil tap switches on the radios < 1925 where the contacts are on the surface of the control panel. Dial up the time on four of those... To

RE: [neonixie-l] Clock readout based on changing resistance Ohmmeter

What about a switched R-2R Network? or use small realy's, driven by appropriate decade countinglogic to switch individual trimmed resistors. eric -Original Message- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of lai...@wcoil.com Sent: zaterdag 9 april
