Hi All,
Recently I acquired couple of those Nimo tubes. And now of course I
would like to test them.
Nimo needs 2.5kV DC @ 35 uA of anode voltage.
How to generate this kind of voltage? The current is almost nothing.
Would it be possible to use 10+ stages of voltage multiplier starting
from a
Nice! But it is not a true binary clock since it is based on the base of ten and
not two.
I.e. 5:23:31 becomes this in your BCD clock
101
010
0011
011
0001
but this in a base 2 binary clock:
0101
010111
01
Personally, I like the socond version better because it looks more uniform,
I know somebody, who has an original NIMO kit, including PS. I will ask him
to contact you

So not only is it not binary, but the bit ordering is backwards.
Which makes it all the more interesting :-)
Perhaps its the Chinese version? (or Hebrew,
Back around May of 2010 I had asked around on here if
anyone had a few NL-6844A nixies for sale.
At that time, a few of you wrote back saying that there
were a few available.
Sorry that I have taken so long to follow up on this,
but if anyone has some of these (one fellow, I forget who

When you solder sockets to a pcb, you need to have a dummy plug [they were
used for normal valve work] or a 'standard' nixie plugged in. The socket
pins [of good sockets] can move around a bit. Before pcbs it didn't matter
so much. With ordinary valves there are specialised sockets for pcb use.
Thanks for the suggestion, but these are not pcb mounted
sockets. They are chassis mount sockets. They have a
thin flange which has two small holes for screws. They
have a phenolic base which the flange is fastened to.
The phenolic base has the ring of holes into which the socket
pins fit. The
Hey Terry,
oh, I think that would really confuse me, just when I finally got the
hang of my vertical binary clock:
