Strange, but it could still be the tube.
I have a bunch that are slower to trigger / require more power. I also have the 4LW clock which I typically swap tubes in to see how they perform. Some delay, some flicker. When I power directly and add more current and/or voltage, they seem fine. Michail From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kevin A.

Or the high voltage is a bit low and causing inconsistent ionization across tubes. It could also be a combination of both where the power supply voltage drops when the tubes are brought up, and the last tube to light has to ignite when the voltage is lowest. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
