Hi folks, I have had some time to troubleshoot my clock. I found that when running in night mode the tubes are supplied with around 1 mA, and when in day mode are supplied 5 mA. These readings are taken between the annode resistor (10k) and annode. My understanding is the tubes should receive between 4-6 mA. Could the lower night mode current be causing the problems with positioning? I did confirm the tubes are suffering poisioning because I have been able to rejuvenate them by running the offending digits at 10 mA for between 30 min to 3 hours. I'm thinking of running the clock on day mode continuously to see if the tubes begin to heal themselves. Thoughts? Anything else I should be looking at?
