All of the recent discussion about the little boost converter HV supply is getting me interested in trying the idea.
I looked around on the web and came across a few schematics for it. It uses a 555 timer ic as the controller, and I see that various frequencies are used. Looks like rounding up the FET, the diode, and the inductor would be no big deal. But, are these things really any good? Will one of them hold decent regulation when running (6) nixies? My estimated total current at 170 volts DC would be about 2.2 mA per tube. That would be about 13.2 mA total. Is it worth experimenting with? I ask, because it seems quite tough to beat John Taylor's model 1363 and 1364 power supplies. I have one of his 1364 supplies here, and it's really slick! Thanks. Chuck Richards $4.95/mo.
