Think of it as 18 tubes all driven at 12mA, giving a maximum total requirement of about 240mA @ around 150VDC, i.e around 40W. You need a bit of headroom, i.e. 50W and up.
You are therefore in transformer territory. Typically, you'd overrate the transformer, so you'd be looking like one having a 120V @ 500mA secondary which when run through a bridge rectifier and smoothed with about 2,200uF will give around 150VDC out. A small toroid, e.g. a Hammond 1182G117, might fit the bill. Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
