A 2A power supply is definitely not needed. 0.008A (per Tube) x 130V x 6 (Tubes) = 6.24W 6.24W / 12V = 0.52A + power for the rest of the electronics, a 1A power supply fits best.
I'm using this one (rated 12V 1.25A) https://www.pvelectronics.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=10&products_id=161 *I'll clean up the code a bit and post the Arduino source code of my Nixie Tester as well as my GPS time emulator the next days!* Am Mittwoch, 4.
