Ahh, interesting, that is very similar to what I'm planning. My PSU produces two voltages as well (I'll post a writeup soon about the stability problems I had, I have them partially solved now). I'll be using a combination of IN-1 and A-101 dekatrons and I was planning on pushing the nixies slightly to 200-210V, so that the dekatron can get its 400-420V. I was worried about damaging the IN-1s, though -- not sure if they'll take to 210V kindly. --J. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
