- ... neon ring counter clock and have 1,000 IN-3s waiting - ... batched and matched.
John, Good to see more projects that use the old technology, not just as the display, but also the guts. I'm still working (more like pencil whipping) on an 'all tube' clock. It also uses ring counters, but I'm cheating a little. I have a little over a 100 5663 thyratrons. They won't need to be burned in and matched. Down side is that they have filaments, though only 150mA and 6.3V. To further reduce parts count, I'll be using ZM1032 bi-quinary nixies. That should almost halve the tube count. Total tube count should between 40 to 45. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To post to this group, send an email to [email protected].
