Re: Penta device
All thransistors of a given part will meet the published specs, but sometimes a circuit needs a Bit more gain (or a bit less) of is right at the breakdown voltage. sometimes folsk will select a part

I've seen it too on an IN-18 with the 4 and 8 cathodes. Jon.

Re: Clocks with large "HH:MM," and small "ss" digits
That's going to be mechanically quite tricky. You'll need either two sets of 11-way sliprings, plus a chain-and-sprocket mechanism to keep *each* tube upright and lit, or a "mystery clock" type

Brit flags?
When you say British flag do you mean neon displays with segments in a similar layout, albeit sideways, to our dear Queen's naval jack? I have been messing with a display that may fit into this

Re: single tube counter help
Can't tell from your description. I had an idea, but since you said you had it working with LEDs (I assume driving the LEDs with the 74141?), my idea couldn't be right. On the other hand, if you were

Re: IN-14, five and six
Shane, Overvoltage wouldn't do that. Look for a short circuit in your wiring between the 5 and 6 cathode pins. If your wiring's OK, then try a different tube; sometimes they have internal shorts. --

westdaves many one digits clocks
Mr Dave just posted a whole bunch of photos of never before seen clocks. i have made just about all the neon British flag tubes into clocks, B-7971 ,B-8971 B-5971 neo5000 zm1350 all there some pixie

Re: IN-14, five and six
Sounds like a short to me. It's going to be on the board. Although rare, it's possible that it is the tube. I have only seen this once on an IN-18. It was the 4 and 5. I could see the elements on the

Re: Penta device
Nothing special about -> HOW <- the transistors are used on the MCU section. You can use just about any small signal NPN & PNP, where specified. Something like the 2N3904 (NPN) & 2N3906 (PNP) will do.

OK, I got my single tube counter working, sort of. It scrolls through 0-9 perfectly, but when five is on, six lights up to, and vice versa. I assume this is an overvoltage issue, any ideas how, or
