Merry Christmas Everyone ! I have 8 old IN-18's that have seen better days. When inserted into one of Mr Nixie(UK)'s excellent Cyclox 3 time pieces using it as a testbed, in daytime bright mode most of the cathodes light, but some have slight dark areas in the middle of the digits. When in night/dim mode this problem becomes more pronounced with only small lengths of some of the digts lighting up at all. Do you think this is 'cathode poisoning' (wot I have heard of) or just gradual deteriation caused by contamination of the gas ? Any ideas how to save them ? Maybe 6 hours in a low oven with the turkey ? - or should they be consigned to being connected to higher voltage to cause a festive bang and flash ? - If so what power do you suggest to make the most spectacular effect ?....... (Please do not try this at home or at least when the wife is watching) M
