Hi all, My name is Dave I'm a semi retired (due to disability)
electric passenger train builder/electrician. My hobbies are varied
ranging from custom car design/build to electronic gadget maker.
Enough about me.
Has anyone here any knowledge/experience/hints/tips on using nixies
(and neons) in a road car environment? Apart from solving the issues
of signals to convert, both digital and analogue, I am concerned about
physical shock/vibration damage. Just how robust are nixies? Are one
type much more robust etc?
Any information that sheds some light on this would be very much
appreciated, thanks in advance, Dave.
One fellow in England put some on his motorcycle and they vibrated
themselves into oblivion, but a car is much more cushy than a bike.
Best to mount them with soft rubber shock mount. If they have nipples,
use a grommet over the nipple, placed into a support bracket.
