[neonixie-l] Burroughs 7037 Tube

Anybody interested in one of these? I have one I’m looking to part with for cash or trade. Tests perfectly on all digits. PM if interested. Nick Sent from my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group

Re: [neonixie-l] Half-digit neon bulb 25/15 mm long

Unfortunately, I haven't seen this kind of approach in any Polish equipment - even the V54x voltmeters/multimeters used full sized Z566Ms for all digits even though the leftmost digit was showing only "1" or nothing*. I also haven't seen any long neon bulb in any of equipment. *I can't remember

[neonixie-l] My first power supply!

Hi, I've been beavering away on a nixie tube power supply using an off-the-shelf flyback transformer (I wanted to be able to use it in battery powered clocks, but be able to use the same basic design in larger clocks with a 12V supply). I've written the whole process up on hackaday.io

[neonixie-l] Re: threeneuron's Dekatron clock

Thanks for clearing out some of the mud in my eyes Jon, To summarise. The only pins which MUST be identified are the Anode, the Guide and/or Guides. My understanding of the dekatron is that the index or K0 pin is NOT connected to any other pins. The only reason I say this - as I have never t

[neonixie-l] Re: threeneuron's Dekatron clock

There is no electrical difference between K0, K3, K5 or K9, just a topological one with respect to the other electrodes in the array. Choose any one of them as your nominal index cathode, treat all the others in the same way as the common cathode K and you'll get a tube which spins giving one

So to be clear, I can use any of the K3 K5 or K9 cathodes and it will work ? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to neonixie-l+unsubscr...@googlegroups.co

Thanks for the extra information Jon, >From the translated datasheet I uploaded I have now named pin 1 index cathode. Am I correct in calling it a uni-directional tube ? If this is the case then why are there 3 "extra" cathodes ? I am just trying to get the data sheet right. Then try to build a

[neonixie-l] Re: threeneuron's Dekatron clock

Pin 8 is better called the common cathode - it's connected to all the main cathodes except K0 (pin 1), K3 (pin 7), K5 (pin 5) and K9 (pin 6). I guess K0 is what you might instinctively call the index cathode, but because the array is circular it's a bit of an arbitrary designation. For any of K
