[neonixie-l] NL4998 4 digit watch

Well, I finally noticed that Surplus Sales of Nebraska had a bucket-load of NL4998 tubes. So I bought them. I keep getting requests for 4 digit Nixie watches, and these tubes are the best candidates for making a Metro: Last Light style watch. It seems to be in some demand. Curiously, four of

John, Thanks for your detailed reply. I hadn't had a chance to touch the Nixies for two months, so it's sat idle until today. I messed around with the code and it turns out that the addressing was the problem (I never doubted that the smart nixie modules were working correctly :-) ). What I

[neonixie-l] Re: NL4998 4 digit watch

No easy solution for a wristwatch. Tubes that are intended for socketing have thicker pins, so clipping them will put the tube under a lot of stress. Even a rotary tool with a cutoff wheel will subject the tube to a lot of vibration. I wouldn't even think of bending the pins. I think that

Re: [neonixie-l] NL4998 4 digit watch

Nice find! Just out of curiosity, how many tubes are we talking? Cheers Jens Am 03.11.2015 um 17:22 schrieb nixiebunny: Well, I finally noticed that Surplus Sales of Nebraska had a bucket-load of NL4998 tubes. So I bought them. I keep getting requests for 4 digit Nixie watches, and these

1). a shear cutter should be ok and/or 2). wrap wire around the pin [and secure with silver-bearing epoxy?] John K - Original Message - From: gregebert To: neonixie-l Sent: Wednesday, November 04, 2015 10:25 AM Subject: [neonixie-l] Re: NL4998 4 digit watch No easy

Re: [neonixie-l] NL4998 4 digit watch

I acquired enough tubes to make a hundred watches. I sure hope they work! Military surplus, 1979 or so. I am presently using some Mill-Max pins on my 2 digit watch. They are 0.170" tall and fit in a .040" hole. I will consider the FCI pins if they fit better. I do like the idea of cutting

Re: [neonixie-l] ZM1000 Nixie clock schematic?

Thanks JensG, did not know that. I'll still consider it as a last resort only. I do not need the schematic anymore (I do not intend to develop this clock any further.), I just thought it would be nice to make it available on my blog. Best, Damir On Tuesday, November 3, 2015 at 10:05:51 AM
