Re: First Oscilloscope
The answer to that? Why! A Tek 464 / 466 of course! I know Storage CRTs have pitfalls of their own, the least of them being that the tubes are made of an unobtanium isotope

"Projection" displays
I am interested in learning more about the so-called "projection" displays that were used in a lot of 1970s industrial rack-mount type clocks. Does anyone on here have a reference or source for them?

Re: MM5375
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In the 70's when this tube was first used as a clock display only TTL logic chips were available and a 7 segment number display was the norm even for LEDs. I

Re: OT: Fun stuff for your web site...
I only have it on two pages - every page has Google Analytics, so the main info I get from that. The map is really just a bit of fun. Doesn't seem to bad on my PC (but I have an i5-750 cpu now) -

Re: Nixie Sudoku Device - Very Cool!
It may be smart-looking, but algorithmically its somewhat crude - the solver seems to use a tree-walk/brute force attack, which lacks subtlety... it shouldn't have to make guesses. Nick

MM5375AH Clock Chip
Does anyone know where I can source these. They can drive six B7971 Nixies directly, 12 hour with lead zero blank, brightness control, date, enable Just add HV power supply at 170v and you are good to

Re: Nixie Sudoku Device - Very Cool!
If it solved it instantly, it wouldn't be fun to watch. I would be happy with one that just did random numbers. If someone asked, "What does it do?" You can honestly say, "To make people ask

Re: MM5375
Don't waste your time. The B7971 is a 14 segment tube with a really unique look. When run from a 7 segment driver the result is *UUUGLY*.

Re: First Oscilloscope
I have both an analog scope (Tek 465) and a DSO (Bitscope) and they both have advantages and disadvantages. I like the "real" aspect of the analog scope. The CRT responds in real time to whatever is

SUCCESS!! I now have a spinning dekatron! As usual it was loose nut on the user end of the soldering iron. Many good debugging suggestion. !

Neat. I visited your page once again and was able to turn the globe upside down. Now the world turns backwards and I'm afraid my simple gesture could cause worldwide mayhem and flooding! :O Marco

Re: 110V Dekatron circuit
Does the buzzer make any noise when you turn it on? If it does, you can test each guide channel by setting the kit to a low speed (the buzzer will click in time to the guide pulses) and connecting an

I've tried 3 different OG-4 tubes so far. They light up two cathodes and never move. I've been trying to adjust the configuration jumper pins to get better connections. I think that's my problem but
