Re: [neonixie-l] Pulsed operation and anode current

2019-02-02 Thread David Pye
Hi David, I do indeed have a scope and am starting to get the kind of results i wanted now I have changed out the PSU for a more capable one. So far, from my testing: HV 200V. Anode resistor of 3k9. Voltage across anode resistor during pulse is between 42 and 48v (depending on the individual tub

Hi, The gremlins seem to be largely PSU related - the oscilloscope is showing weird problems like the voltage decaying during the pulse (and not in the way you'd normally expect once the nixie conducts). I have swapped to a different HV PSU module, which seems to have the capability to generate t

Hi Martin, Via Amazon from a German bookseller (who had also listed it on abebooks). I'm fairly sure it's genuine (it certainly looks and smells like a 1970s book, complete with the vintage paper feel). A number (maybe 20) of the early pages are blank, so I suspect it's a quality control issue ;

I would also like to trade nixie tubes. My short trade list: ZM1000 - NOS ZM1010 - rare, very original nixie (NIB) ZM1042 - big digit, NIB Siemens B54364 - rare NOS LC511 - NIB LC513 - NIB LC513A - NIB LC531 - NIB LL561 - NIB LD955A IN1 - NIB IN8-1 - very rare (known only 8 tubes

I will convey a story my engineering manager once told me back in the 70's. He had a friend who wanted to measure his internal body resistance. He did so by sticking a pin through the skin on both the right and left hand, then used a VOM (vacuum tube volt-ohm meter) to measure the resistance.

Now that's a lot of work! Whose wood shop was that? Very professional operation... Nick -- 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...@go
