Make sure you are using excess anode voltage; spec is 135V but try closer to 200V. Higher voltage does NOT harm a nixie; excess current does, so make sure you have a current-limited supply, or add some series resistance. In this case, about 75K for a 200V supply is fine for 1 segment.
Did this tube ever work ? If you cant get it to fire using the anode, pick 2 segments that are not adjacent for powering. If it glows, then there is a problem with the anode pin. I think this is very unlikely, but worth trying. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
