True. Interestingly, mine has more than I had expected. I haven't seen some
of this junk for decades. I have 180v, 240v, 300v. I'm not sure why. I've
been collecting stuff since the 60's. Of course I had nothing in the needed
range! So I strung together a bunch of 12s and 15s to get 66v. That sh
Sure, a zener will also work. It’s just that most junkboxes have so
few high volatge zeners in them ;-)

Great explanation. Thanks! So then I could
Great explanation. Thanks! So then I could actually just use a zener in
place of that resistor/diode network, right?

not allowed to go higher than half HV. They are still in series between anode
drivers, but not enough voltage left over to get ghosting issues.

I've seen an arrangement something like that in some schematics I've seen
on the web. Can you explain what that does?

I've built a 4-digit IN-17 nixie clock based on a 1x4 mux design. It uses 4
