http://frank.pocnet.net/sheets/030/z/Z70U.pdf http://frank.pocnet.net/sheets/030/z/Z70W.pdf If it is the Z70 (u or w), then a dekatron drive ckt should be possible. At least on paper. The nominal anode supply is 250V, and the anode drop, when ON, is 121V max. That's ~130V step (250V off to 121V on). Should be plenty to kick a dekatron. Plus they're nice small packages. Please let me know if we're looking at the same parts. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
