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..:-)

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.

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.

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.
