I'd quite like to find some more of these too for a clockany stock out there somewhere? I have some neat tubes I could be persuaded to trade..:-) Nick Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 25, 2016, at 10:32, Alic wrote: > > Hello, > I've been looking for NL-807 nixies for almost 2 years now, but

Thanks for the photo; You could 3D print some collars that sit around the base of the tube to hide the glowing wires. I'm not aware of anything circuit-wise that you can do to eliminate the glowing wires, but you might be able to reduce their visibility with lower current. Of course, that will

Hello, I've been looking for NL-807 nixies for almost 2 years now, but they seem to be even harder to find than some of the bigger nixies! Who is willing to sell or trade one or more of these nixies? I live in Switzerland, Central Europe. Please contact me directly by PM, thanks. -- You recei

New update: Home from work, and now it is only the tube with all wires lowing that has this problem. No improvement in that tube. Tink I will put that tube in the one minute position, and start the clock mode, and see what happens. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to th

Update: Set the clock to "test mode" yesterday evening. This morning only two tubes had this glowing wires. (tube 1 and 2, who had the most wires glowing.) Tube 2 had glowing wires only on 2,3,4 and 9. no difference in the tube with all the wires glowing. I am at work at the moment, so I am e

Please post some pictures showing the problem. Based on what you said earlier: "Did the first tube test, and in 3 tubes some of the lead in wires glow. Tube 1 all wires glows Tube 2 wire 1,2,3,4,5 and 9 glows Tube 3 wire 9 glow." It sounds like the wires between the tube pins and the cathode d

I also witnessed this "awakening" process where the wire(s) would glow, but only with old top-view nixies. The test sequence on Pete's clock was switching too quickly between the cathodes to be efficient, so I hooked the nixies up manually to a 170V supply through an appropriate anode resistor.
