Thank you all for the help! That's the warmest welcome I had ever (Yes I am new here).
I successfully fixed one tube. DMM showed infinite resistance across 1 and 6 but I simply connected them to an experiment power supply and kept increasing the voltage. Nothing observed, even the current remained 0 but the tube works well now! The other tube is not so lucky - the 0 and 6 are intersected firmly, which I believe was caused by inappropriate assembling. Resistance between to pins is less than 2 ohms, so I simply leave it there as a collection... It is big and I cannot find elsewhere so far. The last one, an NL-8091 with '6' never light up, is still usable (you know why). I am seeking for another one to make a two digit nixie clock! Now John you can see, all three tubes have problem with 6. lol... BTW Laurence (or Mr. Nixie if you prefer), by browsing the old posts I saw you had some problem with eBay seller polivoks-russia? Interested in how it was settled because I'm having problems with him now... Cheers, MN -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
