I just got in some In-18 smart nixies, and my nixies are running slightly
warm. Anode voltage is 136volts, supply is 170volts, and the anode resistor
is 10KiloOhms, which puts anode current at 3ma. This is normal, right?

I was looking at the Supertex drivers, mainly the HV5522. Its 220v vs

I think this tube was mentioned once before on the list, and I wanted to
share the one I got for $7. (I still wonder how I got it for that little.)
The tube seems to be in perfect condition except for a small ding on the
top left, and a little metal disc rolling around in the fill nipple. I
anything around 35USD for one should be right... I saw a pair of
ZM1040s go for around 70USD. Cheaper is even better.

s was just a plural, they were regular ZM1040 nixies. :p they look
good, if anything you can recoat them with a new coat of lacquer.

I know that the PCB sockets are bad/ don't give pins room to bend.
Phenolic sockets are the best, from what I hear, but I want to buy
from the US. Anyone know of a place to get the phenolic sockets, or an
alternative to them? (Other than PCB based sockets, I can't afford to
outgas a tube.)

The PCB ones look nice, and I did want to do LED lighting... Anyone
outgassed a tube with one of Dieter's sockets?

Also, should I try making my own, by using wire and styrofoam? (would
let me Do LED, and give the tubes some freedom to move.)

Well, what about making my own sockets? using the little pins that
dieter uses, but in styrofoam, so each socket fits the tube perfectly.
Would go to a set of header pins, attaching to the board.

Thanks, but I already have a clock with similar tubes. I think I will
have to go for an IN-18 clock. Anyone got some of the Blue-dot
tubes? I remember that someone was selling them for less.

I would also suggest the Arduino, as it is very easy to learn, and
lots of libraries exist, from GPS to RTC.

Hi, I'm deviantgeek, and I discovered nixie tubes while browsing
through a href=http://www.instructables.com/;
target=_blankInstructables/a (A great site, has some cool nixie
projects.) Since then, I got a velleman nixie clock kit, and now I
want to design and build
Yeah, built the vellleman kit (ZM1336, appears to be similar to the
ZM1332. Nice tube, but small (13mm))
I found a source of NOS NL807 tubes for $20 each, compared to $250 for
NOS IN-18 tubes. Might resort to those.
(I can get the IN-18s, but no spares, for $240, I get 12 NL807s)
