Thanks for the estimated current draw for a 6 tube B7971 Nixie Clock.

17.5 mA x 6 = 105 mA

Looking at most of the available Nixie switchmode PSUs out there for sale,
most of them will put out a max of 45mA. See below

So does this mean I need to drive each pair of tubes in a 6 tube B7971 clock
with a separate power supply??
My one, with small component changes as stipulated on the page, will easily do 100+ mA and still be regulated.

The OgiLumen board is a simple copy of my previous version, so you could buy one of those and make the changes, or just use the Eagle files on my page to have a new board made...
