Oh, see, I spoke too fast. There's even a schematic on the ebay page
with pinout and everything. It is indeed a 74141 equivalent wired to the
nixie (IN-14 perhaps?) complete with anode resistor. You will need a
clean 5vdc supply to power the 74141 as well as a ~180vdc HV supply to
power the nixie. You'll probably want to replace the provided anode
resistor with an anode resistor that suits your particular supply (or
select your supply based on the existing resistor value [more fun!])..

Open it up, ohm it out, figure out what pins go to what.

Heck, (if the price is right), buy it now, figure it out later!!

Hi everybody!
I'm quite new to Nixie clocks and I wanted to get a kit to start my
first project.
I found this one from the

It seems to be a genuine old computer part that Nixie tubes were used
for back in the day.
I want to buy it but I have absolutely no idea how to power it with
the 6 x 32 pin bits at the back, the seller doesn't either!
Does anybody know how to do it?
Thanks! Hope you can help!
