I gleamed most of the ideas from Michael's builds. He is a genius when it comes to Nixie clock frame designs. He gives you enough hints to use your creativity to build your clock without holding your hand along the way. Thanks Michael it is working:) I hope everything goes right but I am sure a few hiccup's will occur. Does anyone know how to post a picture here? Or even attach a file? I am having problems with both. Other than that still wondering for the Colon tubes to either Paint the 1/16" brass tubes to support the Neon bulbs Gloss black, heat shrink with black,or heat shrink with clear? By turning the bulbs at 90 degrees I need some insulation on the rear taller brass tubes so the leads from the front bulb does not contact the rear taller brass tubes. They will be covered with the glass cover but do not want any shorts in case the clock gets bumped. When I get ready to solder the colon tubes PCB I just want a firm plan on what I will be doing. I really would like to get a couple prototypes from Dalibor and modify those to fit the PCB boards that I have with the kits. The high voltage is at 170VDC going through a 270K resistor to ground for each bulb. I do not know if his prototype colon tubes fit that parameter. Maybe that may happen in the future but I try to plan with what I have at this moment. In the next couple days I will finish the final prints and bring them to the shop to get the 4 plates made and drilled. A week from now I will start assembling the kit and get it ready to do the trial fit to the stand and make the modifications needed to make it fit perfectly or as close as I can. Then I will wait for the tubes to arrive and go from there. I will wait on doing anything on the colon tubes until then as they need to match perfectly to get the look that is in my mind. Just to be clear I am borrowing most of the ideas from the members on this forum and thank them for the support that they have given me to pursue this project.
