[neonixie-l] Re: B7971 alpha-numeric display tube tester and projects

I display local wind speed and direction on them which I scrape from a web page. A recent project resulted in the tubes scrolling a message 'ITS JUST AFTER FIVE IN' and then displaying the name of a place in the world where it was between 17:00 and 18:00 - the idea came from a friend who wants

[neonixie-l] Single Digit PCB Based LED Display

Hi, Hope the group can help. I need to replace a Blue single digit PCB based LED Common Anode display, 7 segment with dp on the right. The dimensions of the segments are 23.5mm by 45mm and the overall width and height of the display is 37mm by 55mm. The display has no original markings and I

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B5750 tubes

Thanks Terry. A senior moment there. Why are the Rodan’s cheaper? Maybe Burroughs have more brand recognition. Personally I would prefer the Rodans. I’m pretty sure that Burroughs just re-badged a Japanese tube anyway. > On Sep 13, 2020, at 7:24 PM, Mac Doktor wrote: > -- You received this

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B5750 tubes

Thank you all. Indeed I have purchased some B-5870s from them as well as GR-116Ds, I was curious to see why the latter are cheaper, probably less stable. Paolo, thanks for the note too, but that shop is only a few miles from my home, easier and more carbon neutral :) > On 14 Sep 2020, at

Or $75. ROFL. https://www.ebay.com/itm/324267690931. Go to pvelectronics.com and buy them from there. Or buy the Rodan GR-116Ds instead. I know their display is pretty sharp, but personally I’ve never liked these

Re: [neonixie-l] B7971 alpha-numeric display tube tester and projects

The best testing you can do is gather and plot I-V data for each segment of every tube. On Sunday, September 13, 2020 at 7:54:41 AM UTC-7 nickja...@gmail.com wrote: > Send them to me and I'll find a good use for them... > > On Sat, Sep 12, 2020, 7:15 PM LeRoy Lee wrote: > >> I have 10 of the

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: B5750 tubes

These types appear to go for anywhere in the $12 to $18 range from what I've seen recently (there haven't been many on eBay in a while that I've noticed..). However, there will always be outliers to this and the occasional 1 or 2 tubes go for a little less (toober, a seller on eBay appears to have

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Lens end neon bulb

Gaston, Try reducing the series dropping resistor value a little. On one clock kit I have, the neon bulbs were driven off the 170v supply each bulb with a 220K resistor in series. I was having flickering, and the kit designer mentioned that often you may need to play with the series resistor

[neonixie-l] Re: B5750 tubes

WoW! That was quick! What is a sensible price to pay for any of these tubes these days? B5853, B5870, B5750 and the likes. Just looking for an idea of the range of prices, although I understand large quantities can push the price down, I'm just looking to have a sense of what is fair to pay.
