Congratulations, you've avoided a lot of problems with direct-drive and the MPSA42 drivers. I have to admire your bravery with the point-to-point wiring. Very impressive, especially for a first clock.
Nothing wrong with the relay to control the HVDC supply; just make sure you have a diode across the coil to clamp the inductive spike when the coil is de-energized. It's far better to shut the HV down when the tubes are off, rather than letting it run with no load. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
