I dont recommend line-operated designs unless you've done some previous design work at high-ish voltages. There are a lot of not-obvious things that go wrong (line noise, transients, component failure, inadequate isolation) with very bad consequences.
If you have done a lot of past designs, I can share some tips on how to make a line-operated design safer and more reliable. The last thing we want is for someone's nixie clock to cause a fire, or worse. I've had a few "learning experiences" with line-operated circuits that ended-up with sparks, smoke, and/or small explosions despite careful forethought. There's always something you overlook, and sooner or later it will get you. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
