Is it possible that those russian 74141's were both from the same bad
batch? I've made a lot of clocks and only ever had one fail on me (it
failed the same way as you describe). For about $2/chip and a failure rate
(for me) of about 1 in 100.

I've had 2 74141 chips fail on my Ramos prototype within the span of a
couple of years. In each failure a digit would always stay on. I'm not
sure if this was my fault, but I tried to take every precaution with
my circuit design. I drove 4 in12's at 170v dc with 4 russian 74141
chips.

Hehe, Cobra,
if I did that I would a) not have roommates anymore, and b, turn off
every single one and probably still go to bed, and c, have a room
filled with alarm clocks :-)
And Mike, the whole alarm system can be disabled. This project has
been really interesting for me so far, and from what
Hi Gang,
What characters do the Nimos 6100-92-0005 and 6100-92-0006 display?
can you help me?
Thanks
