Hi Dalibor,

yes, that is my number 2 item on the wish list, the first one is the needle valve.

What do you do for annealing? Have you built yourself an annealing oven?

I forgot, I bought small glassblowing torch, oxy-gas, it is huge difference compared to hardware torch. If You have some spare money, go for it.. You can set the flame to heat just a small area (5mm diameter) and so...

    Hi,

    Do You have any info about your progress on your site?

    I am currently training my glasswork "skills", which is really a
    lot of work, so this eats up all my spare time at the moment. I
    will have more time in the next months, so for me it will take
    some more time, sadly. Hence, there is nothing to report for my
    website as of now :-(

    I have a plan, though, for a simple glow lamp with two cathodes
    that I will be able to build with my primitive tools and
    especially primitive burners. Let's see :-)

        Hi folks,

        the only tube with a flashed getter I know of is the XN-1:
        http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/nixie/data/XN1/XN1.htm

        To be honest: I will not use getters at the moment. There is
        so much glasswork to figure out for me, that is the part that
        I will focus on in the next months. :-)

        Hi Dylan,

        flashed getters are not used in nixies (I havent seen it at
        least), just some VFD tube use flashed getters. Flashed
        getters leave a coating on a glass envelope of the tube - we
        don't want that. I think that kind of getter needs only
        initial activation by heat which could be done by induction
        heating as well as in the case of flashed getters. Look to
        IN-14 nixie, there is exactly the same pellet.

        The only matter to solve will be attaching the pellet to a
        wire, but I think that will be possible to do by spot
        welding - inspired by IN-14.

        Thanks,

        Dalibor

            Hey Dalibor and others-
               I don't feel that these are the right getters for
            nixie tubes.
               The literature lists them as thermally active- they
            only absorb if you put them somewhere hot.
               Many styles of getters are made this way; most tubes
            do run quite hot, beacuse of the filaments..

               There isn't anywhere in a nixie tube that is
            constantly 100C-200C. (That's part of the magic of
            nixies, of course)

               You really want some flashed barium getters; they
            absorb gasses at any temperature.

                Hello guys,

                I've got an offer on getters, tech info attached..
                the price is approx. 5pcs/1 eur. Is anyone
                interested in it? I will place an order in several
                weeks, I may send some pieces sealed in argon filled
                tube..
