The rated voltage is 140V but I've seen higher. Have you seen this? https://threeneurons.wordpress.com/nixie-power-supply/ <https://threeneurons.wordpress.com/nixie-power-supply/> Note the current. The IN-13 can be driven with an MPSA42 but an IN-9 will need something like an MJE340. As for the HV power supply, there are plenty on eBay but making it battery operated may require an extra gadget. They're dime a dozen these days. This is off the top of my head. My apologies if you've already gotten this far.
