Well... we had all our doors and widows taped for the Big Smoke which descended on Canberra for the New Year. I would not swap it for TP. Anyway, you can't eat gold either. You can't even build a half-decent clock from it! Yet people kill for it. Humans are weird. On 2/04/2020 10:38, Bill van

It has a built in vacuum pump that all fits in the hand unit. No more big pumps and tubes needed anymore. On top is a spring loaded section that holds the collected solder until you're ready to empty the translucent chamber holding the removed material. It's not a brand new design but one

Wait…. I didn’t call anyone suckers (that I recall). That said, I was the sucker when I bought mine years ago. I guess I could now call the new people suckers – It’s my turn. ☺ Great pic. Nice to see the first tube is lit instead of only online for a 1 and/or a 2. Also, love the work area

[neonixie-l] Re: Restore or scrap for parts?

How functional is it ? If it's totally dead it might be worth checking the power supply. I would suspect some keys no longer work due to contamination after almost 50 years. Russian VFD's are still cheap and plentiful so the scrap-value of this calculator seems low to me. -- You received

RE: [neonixie-l] Re: Elektronika-7 Clock... What kind of IV-26 tubes? Just found out there's Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 IV-26's.

Basically an interchangeable size heated tip with triggered electric pump.  Pulls solder into a small, easily removed chamber that you clean out after multiple uses.  It's really easy to use and clean.  It has strong enough suction to remove all but the solder that is wetted to the surface.

Hi Bill, I am considering buying one, perhaps you can answer a question. Does the units have an electric vacuum pump, or is it some type of spring release? Thanks, Bill From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Bill Notfaded Sent: Tuesday,
