Hello from a longtime lurker…. The point first…I need 2 clear 568(0) tubes :-( The back story….Ages ago in the 70s when I was in my teens I built a very dangerous small 4 tube nixie clock.. using modified guts from an old pinball machine and an electric clock motor from an old range. As the se

I think it may be similar to my X Y display for milling or lathe back in the day. I have a large nixie display that shows X and Y. The vertical on the back maybe gives it away idk? I'll eventually put up video of mine. I have so much stuff it's out of control. I always think wow that's really

I should say a similar display. It had multiple nixie readouts. On Monday, June 21, 2021 at 6:36:31 PM UTC-5 Terry S wrote: > I think I've seen that display on a CMM. But the front panel had markings > IIRC. > > On Monday, June 21, 2021 at 9:09:12 AM UTC-5 artg...@googlemail.com wrote: > >> The

Isn't that the one used in the Marantz 10B (and presumably the Marantz 10)? You can probably infer a useful set of operating conditions from the service manual. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and

Resent in a new thread… As some of you know, I am fond of vintage coin slot amusement machines. If they contain nixie tubes, then what's not to like even more? The Golden Mint slot machine was made by Sturgeon Electronic Manufacturing Co. Ltd. of Bognor-Regis, Sussex, England in the 1960s. T

The one to the right has a decimal point, which would suggest voltage. But it has a lot of precision for something that old. Maybe it's a digital readout for something like a machine tool or a microscope positioning system ? The 'space-age' format might be appropriate for a something like an electr

Yep, UK, I got the bulbs from a salty old sailor ( actually a photographer :) ) in a London boatyard when I fixed his RAID disk array for him! He got them in a jumble sale years ago. Funny where these things turn up... Cheers, Robin. > On 21 Jun 2021, at 06:08, J Forbes wrote: > >  > you're

The Beehive one looks pretty rare to me. If it's from the 1930's that's a keeper. I've seen the other one before... not sure what the use was but they're more common. Bill On Sunday, June 20, 2021 at 10:08:28 PM UTC-7 J Forbes wrote: > > you're in the UK? > > http://www.debook.com/Bulbs/edi
