For all of the above reasons, I use my own power supply designs in my nixie projects.
Even though I put a lot of protection devices in the circuit (fuses, varistors; extra margin for capacitor voltages, sheet-metal lining inside my case), I always worry about unexpected things going wrong (large voltage surge, capacitor internal short/breakdown, etc) and wonder if my design is really any safer than the el-cheapo stuff that's produced in high-volume. Knock-on-wood, nothing I've ever built in 35+ years has ever caught fire or zapped anyone. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
