Wow Michael! That wood looks really good. You always use really nice
hardware as well. I guess since you machine things so well skimping on
cruddy hardware just isn't an option and why would it be! My 8971 clock

Nice work Michael!! (As usual!) Good to know they fit the board, I stlll have
to make mine up

Hi!
8k2 value is proven and totally safe when used with 170-180V DC. Recently I
updated the specification for our tubes and decreased the minimum current
from 5mA to 4.5mA. The currents are different for every digit anyway - we
need to specify this as well for the customers who build the

What really amazed me about the R|Z568m tubes is that even though at 50mm
tall, they are only 10mm taller than an IN-18, their size is enormous by
comparison. They are "fatter" than an IN-18 so they have better overall
proportions, whereas the IN-18 is more tall-and-skinny.

i could not agree with you more!

I chose this value based on what I believe is the value Dalibor recommends
for his tubes. And they perform well within spec. I have had a PV clock
running these same tubes for over 2 years with this value anode resistor
and have had no issues such as the phenomena mentioned.. Both clock power
Just to be safe, I suggest you measure the voltage drop across the anode
resistor, and use Ohm's law to compute the current. For an 8.2K anode
resistor, and a current of 6mA, the voltage-drop should be around 50V. If
the voltage is below 40 volts, your anode current is too low because it's
