Judging by the photos on Ebay, which show rather dim digits, I would guess the tubes are multiplexed at their rated-current, which reduces brightness vs direct-drive. I definitely would *not* boost the current to compensate for this; much safer to make a new clock with direct-drive. Seems silly to me to save a few dollars by multiplexing when the tubes are so costly. 3500 euros.....definitely not in my budget even if I were to sell the other 6 tubes and attempt to justify it as a wedding-anniversary gift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
