The camera flash washed out the glow. The glow covers a bit more than 1/2 the pin. I'm using A-101 dekatrons. The power supply is a voltage tripler powered from the 120v mains. I have a 22-ohm fusible resistor in series with the main, then the voltage tripler. Each capacitor is 33uf, with a

I sent a package to Russia from the UK a few weeks ago and that went smoothly. The on line tracking even worked quite well which was a pleasant surprise. Jon. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group

Within last 2 years I've got lots of parcels received to my Russian home address from Europe, China, Japan and never had problem with Russian Customs office, as unlike in the UK (15GBP) you can import goods to Russia with up to 1000USD declared value with no extra pay of VAT or any other

USPS is nearly completely nonfunctional now. Has been this way now for about the past year. It's really bad. It's a crapshoot every time now whether any package will be shipped properly, or be hopelessly damaged or lost. > > > Original Message >From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com >To:

In the past I've sent a few parcels to Russia without any problems. Parcels usually got there in a timely manner. Only one parcel didn't make it. Actually, it did. It got all the way to the proper city, in Russia. Then it got stamped "return to sender", and ended up, unopened, back on my door
