Hi! Recently I bought a couple of B5870S nixie tubes - nothing special, quite popular Burroughs tubes. But mine aren't Burroughs. The manufacturer is marked "E.E.". I wonder who is behind these letters? Exactly, like the one below (photo from the web).[image: ee nixie.jpg] Bartek. -- You

Do you know how eastern sellers (Ukrainians, Russians, etc) are uplifting the tubes prices? It's a very simple trick :) I had bought many IV-25 about a year ago for funny money. It was a real catch! After a few days, the seller had raised the price 10x. From that moment on, every next person,

I'm not familiar with that project and that circuit, but based on my experience in CRT TV repairs, if you have a proper blanking signal, something must be wrong with HV as Tristan said. Grid1 - negative voltage on this grid allows electrons to flow (brighter picture), 0V blocks them (darkness).

I don't judge that seller. He might just not know what he had, tubes could also be stored improperly, without any protection - that's an often problem. To bad, he didn't describe them as "untested". Why the description was "like new"? The positive thing in my story is, that he didn't make any
