If you like segmented displays, and want to do some experimenting, this is a chance to get some at reasonable price. I've seen these displays listed for sale a few times. There's a good chance the equipment has a nice transformer for producing nixie and logic supply voltages.
I've used a similar display (SP151); very straightforward, but the pins are not on a 0.1" grid, so you'd want to make a small PCB to bring the pins to a usable connector. Perfect OSH Park project, and if you like the displays and get more, just run some more boards. I've heard sockets exist for these, but I've never actually seen one. Trying to reverse engineer the design has many drawbacks; might be worth the effort if it's in a nice instrument case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
