That story reminds me of one from work. Not Nixie-related but sorta funny :)
Years ago, work had an IBM System/360 ot /370 of some age; It started having
faults at random times, so they called in the tech. He opened the system
covers, tied in all the diagnostics tools - logic analyzer, etc, but,
Im currently working on a pandicon-project with the 14-digit version (sadly
i don't have a workshop and can only do woodworks outside, so "no working"
in winter). This calculator helped me much to learn abou the pandicon
timing. The gap between Anode 1 and Anode 2 is really "long" (400uS) so i'm
Dalibors tubes are wonderful and perfect, and the price is very reasonable
no boubt about that.
If there were newly made tubes in size of Z566M or ZM1042 this would be
perfect, the Dalibor tubes are rather big, and for a clock to place on your
desk or so they are maybe to big. Tubes in size of
Hi! I believe that the design shouldn't be entirely based on the existing
tubes; if we can incorporate favorited characteristics based on general
trends, why not?
It's true, the thinner the mesh, the better. I do agree that wired anodes
like on zm1177 improve visibility. Thanks for the suggestion:)
Hi John, you're right about how people shouldn't commit to buying a product
that hasn't stood real life testing in the first place.
I believe it promotes a culture where new manufacturers think it's fine to
push out a product before its ready.
I'm sorry if I sound unsubstantial; I had once contacte
Hi Nicholas:) I totally agree with you; considering that what we are
planning to undertake is building a manufacturing process ground up, there
would definitely be a huge number of pitfalls waiting for us. Most of them
would almost certainly be different from what Dalibor had encountered too.
The b
Hah! It isn't really about the QM, it is about the technology and the
engineering knowledge.
Your "we" had better have some real engineers in it!
You are sounding more and more like a "Product Manager" as we call them out
here.
Once all the technologically-required steps are known, we get the I
I do wish you well with the enterprise Aiden but it sounded to me as if your
first buyers were going to carry the venture and risk aspects.
I have knowledge of Chinese manufacturing both back when trouble-shooting and
very recently when doing the same for a mate who imports LED lighting.
You bet

There is a very similar story about an early super computer developed at
Control Data in the 70's.
An AC outlet on the side of the machine was intended for engineering for
debug instruments.
But nightly, when the cleaning lady plugged in her vacuum cleaner, the
machine would crash. It took da
Oh, I could tell you some stories. When we did some early ships of advanced
workstations to universities, I had a bunch of complaints from Cambridge
University that their optical mice were failing randomly. I phoned the lab
tec to find out what was going on .. these mice used two colours of LED

Hello!
I am sending few notes to this topic, from a perspective of someone who
spent last 5 years exclusively in nixie tubes manufacture ;-)
IMHO, $25 nixie tube is not possible. Nixie tubes were never so cheap, even
in 60s, the less expensive tube from Burroughs was for $8 (equal to today's
$
Dalibor’s information is surprisingly candid. He is also quite correct that
there are many operations such as this which are extremely labor intensive.
His videos are very educational and tell you a lot about what it will take to
even begin to make Nixies. The investment to justify more autom
I do not know how to properly applaud Dalibor. It seems such an empty thing
coming from myself. I am just an observer.
However, I am so absolutely impressed with what he has done. It quite goes
beyond the obsessive amateur radio guys filling a room with gear, the amateur
scale-railroad enthusias
