I wonder what is the best way to test nixie tubes to be fairly sure they will work just fine.
I encountered a few issues, but this one is new to me. I had tested a tube and made sure all segments would work. I put them into my circuit and after a while noticed my number 2 digit didn't light up anymore. I thought it would be a bad connection although I couldn't see anything. I am using cathode side transistors so I soldered 2 digits together and expected both of them to light up at the same time, but actually, neither of them would light up. So I am thinking there is a short between the cathode of number 2 digit and the anode. I took the tube out, measure with an ohm meter and measure 1.6k ohm!! That explained the problem, but how can that happen? Michel -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
