Re: Maxim1771 SMPS Limits
If tying to build one of these, the 6L6 heater needs a well insulated transformer. The H-K limit of a 6L6 (or most simalar tubes) is not 400V. The old tubes could take some abuse but the modern ones

Re: Clocks with large "HH:MM," and small "ss" digits
Yes, to all of the above ! I like all of those presentations, but the main goal is the overall presentation, including what type of case it goes into. I've even mixed end view (IN-4) with side view

Clocks with large "HH:MM," and small "ss" digits
Hi: I'm inclining toward making some future Nixie clock designs follow this pattern, mainly to conserve the big expensive tubes. I'd prefer if the size ratio could be kept to about 1:0.66, but I think

on ePay! A nixie display with a mirrored scale would be pretty, but possibly tricky to read. However, a mirror behind an IN-13 might be interesting. Well yeah I was. In the German description it says

Re: The future of the hobby?
Interesting. These are the first tubes I've seen which have worse quality than the Russian nixies. The Russian's aren't awful, just not as neat and polished as western ones. In particular, the popular

Re: The future of the hobby?
I have a bunch of Russian and Chinese tubes. The china are terrible. You would even think they were used and suffering from cathode poisoning (and maybe they are), but many do this within a month. I

Re: 14-/16-segment LED's with magnifying cupole and NO ascii rom?
Hmm, sounds like they may have been some version of the HDSP-2000? http://www.decadecounter.com/vta/articleview.php?item=750 These are Hewlett Packard 5x7 displays, four digits, in a small 12 pin

Hmm I reckon they are, but a great deal of them is of very poor quality. I have bought 8 of these from a batch of 25, and 3 of my 8 show serious abnormalities in construction, i.e. the pins are not

US tubes are very scarce. 600 NL840s at Sphere's have diminished to just 23 in less than a year. Those may very well have been the last batch of National tubes in quantity that will ever appear. There
