Just assembling a clock, and I have an intermittent nixie tube (
Rodan GR116's ) that flickers and will not stay on. However just
touching the tube with a finger makes it work so assume it is some
strange capacitive effect.
Not all that strange, Florescent tubes that are on their last legs will
sometimes start if you rub your hand along the length of the tube.
Same principle as those Elevator floor number Gas tubes that lit up (and
sent a signal) when you touched them.
