I've ordered from them a couple of times, most recently a couple of
years ago. Both orders arrived fine and communication with Anton was
good. The only downsides were the requirement to use Mone
I dont understand the techincal detail, but i really hope youll be
able to get it all working asap. I just cant to wait what amazing
things you could make. Because for example this is just awesome:

Hi folks,
I am making some small progress on the way to making Nixie tubes. My
vacuum pump (2-stage) is here, that is quite nice. Next step will be to
build the vacuum meter with a special sensor chip from Honeywell.
I also figured out where to get the gas: it is quite easy to obtain 1l

So, it sounds exactly like what I said earlier, although you have 2 stuck
bits.
I ran into this once, but it was my bad solder job. I would double check
that first, and if it doesn't fix then simply replace the chip. The cost
of the chip is cheap compare to the time you have spent tryin
My supply was an old computer supply, giving me 3.3 5.15 and 12 volts,
also all these only in negative "outputs".
I did what you said and set up a 7805. It gave me a steady 5.04 volts.
I did full testings of the chip. I found out that the first two bits
are stuck on 01. So instead of I get 01
I am working on a 6-digit clock with IV-17 tubes, driven by a PT6311
controller IC. I am using a PIC 16F876A to control the chip. It appears to
ignore any command I send it, and I am beginning to wonder if I goofed on
the hardware side. I realized after buying the chips that they are a
pull-down c
Strange. You and I have the SAME two cats.
Fat one named Jurell?
I know the cats hear well, because they respond erratically simply by
saying the word - Eat!
Nixie noise doesn't show an affect on my cats; however, each time I get a
new one, my wife says, "Oh Gawd". Fortunately for me, the e
Well my two cats live with a plethora of switching power supply noise,
from various nixie clocks and other sources, and it doesn't seem to
bother them a bit... although one has kidney disease and the other is
fat as a pig

about $20 a pound. 1lb is about the vo
Well, maybe they kill them because they find the noise very annoying!
Do they behave the same if the tubes come off a standard 50/60Hz power
source?
You could install an ultrasonic audio source close to the clock and
see if they stay away from it (or perhaps become more aggressive).

Actually, that would be quite a nice feature - pets are known to kill
Nixie tubes for fun ;-)

ok, I guess I overlooked that bit in all my enthusiasm :-).

Hi Michel,
I just came across this one Jens, you might be interested in it. A
very tiny and cheap 180V power supply delivering 64mA. You could drive
10 of these IN-18 tubes.

Jumping into Hg wagon, here's my story. During my apprenticeship I
noticed the small glass jar of mercury salvaged from old manometers.
Marveling metal properties, my mentor took the soldering iron and molt
a drop of solder with mercury.
