Hi all I have been playing with an smps a friend built which is supposed to be identical to Nick Desmith's board
http://desmith.net/NMdS/Electronics/NixiePSU.html with the exception that its a through hole board rather than smd. Im an audio guy btw not a nixie builder. With a 12ax7a at 300v/1ma it works well. Noise free, stable, sounds great. But when I tried it with a circuit that drew 20ma of current, both the voltage and current output collapsed to 78v/4ma. I tried changing the resistor that sets the output voltage to 200v and got similar results. Im using a 9v 3amp wall wart supply. I know its impossible to really diagnose anything without a circuit which is the next thing Im going to come up with, but I thought it couldn't hurt to post this and see if there is anything obvious those of you much more familiar with these supplies than me, might suggest as possibly the problem or what to look for. thanks!
