its like, in the Nixie User's Bible somewhere :) Not really -- but there's a better way. have on hand a dip-12 socket? Some assorted resistors? Cool! Here's how I do it: (make sure you view things in

A 4.7K resistor in series with a 50K pot would be just fine. Be sure to use a plastic knob with a recessed set screw, as there may be high voltage on it. -- --David Forbes, Tucson, AZ

Like my 4 year old nephew says... "Hey, I have a great idea..." for us to put our sleeping nixie tubes to work. Why don't we (that's 'you engineers' - lol) build a Christmas ornament with nixie tubes?

LOL! "should, mandatory, absolutely required..." I see my sin. Would it be overkill to build a variable resistance "box" (using decade switches) to accomodate the requirements for all the tubes I

Yes, as everyone else has already said, it's absolutely required that a nixie tube has a series resistor! This is usually put in series with the anode (positive) lead. They will be wrecked in very

Cool, polonium is also used in anti-static brushes. These days, ionization style smoke detectors use americium. I'm looking for an ooooold americium one for my element collection, as americium has a

Marco, Yes, a series resistor is mandatory. You wouldn't run an LED without one, and a nixie tube works just like an LED as far as its voltage/current relation is concerned. The value depends on the

Hello everyone. Through eBay, I've bought a few switching power supply units for nixies. They seem to be based on the Desmith design. For now, I just intent to use them to light up and test nixies. It

Hello, Giampaolo, and thank you for showing up. I love the design of the Penta, so I'm going forward and starting to build one. However, I've just realised that some of the most interesting words in

Howdy y'all; I've found a source for VFD tubes (as well as a few of the "natural looking" 7-segment tubes!) and they're FIP9m5 (looks like a calculator face). My question is: does anyone have any
