Lots of theories as to the blue dots. Claims that it is the circuit (even though 1 tube does it and another 1 will not in the same circuit.) I have 4 different clocks for IN18s, and a tube with blue dots will still show in all 4 (although at different intensity). So, if blaiming the circuit, you must also put more blaime on the tube. None blue tube never displays the dots in any of my clocks. Basically, I have decided that I like the blue dots more than tubes without them. I like the "angels" term. You would get more than a few minutes of quiet from me. Michail

Personally - I find them quite intriguing - particularly the large ones that appear in IN18's when the "1" cathode is lit. If people ask, I just claim they are angels... well it usually shut folk up for a few minutes... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
