Hello, I have for several years wanted to build a NIXIE clock. I want to use large tubes, and found that I want to use the IN 18 tube, since they have the largest digits, and I think they look better than the Z5660. And the price for the IN 18 is also lower.
But I have read that the IN-18 are not the best and most reliable large tubes, IN-18 tubes can crack with no warning, and darken prematurely, And that the Z5660 is a better tube what when it comes to life expectancy. But the Z5660 have 10mm smaller digits, and that is something that bothers me a bit... What i realy would like to use is the R|Z568M, from Dalibor Farny, (What a piece of art!) but that is sadly way over my budget. As for clock kit, what do you reccomend? At the moment I lean towards the Spectrum kit from PV electronics. Anyone with a better suggestion? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
