Thanks NIck. No, that's just the way that digit's formed on that tube. Not one of the best in my stock of these. On Monday, August 18, 2014 1:26:16 AM UTC-7, Nick wrote: On Sunday, 17 August 2014 22:06:56 UTC+1, MichaelB wrote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0jYY0UcC0U Lovely lovely

I am afraid it is not genuine, but a copy. The advertisement says it has 125 pages, whereas my pdf copy shows 390 pages!! It is also strange there is no sign of a publisher's name on the cover. eric -Original Message- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com

Eric A quick look at my other books by JB Dance shows Electronic Counting Circuits also published by Iliffe Books Ltd in 1967 has 390 pages. Coincidence or answer? Grahame On 18/08/2014 22:15, Grahame Marsh wrote: Eric Well, it is identical to the hardback copy I have, same cover, same

Eric, I think you are confusing it with the other book by JB Dance - he wrote two that are relevant for us. Electronic Counting Circuits is 390 pages, whereas Cold Cathode Tubes is indeed much shorter. My copy of the latter looks just like that in the photo and is an original. Both were

Grahame, Ah, yes that's the same! May be the short one in pink cover is a first publishing or so. I have missed the pages between p. 295 and p376 for a long time. Finally somebody sent them to me. Cheers, eric -Original Message- From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com

Eric I glad we are in agreement. The pink book Cold Cathode Tubes I spotted has a different focus to the green book Electronic Counting Circuits as it has chapters on discharge lamps, voltage stabilisation, radiation detector tubes and high current tubes. The counting circuits book does

Are you referring to the linear IN-9 tube ? I experimented with a few of those and was very disappointed with their erratic behavior. For example, I could get half of the tube to illuminate with 5-6mA. When I disconnected reconnected it, the reading was different. If I left it on for awhile,
