Yep, I have similar experience with the IN-2s. I got maybe 6 months out of them as seconds digits on a clock before they quit. And agree it is a shame because they are kinda cute.  Randy On Dec 16, 2024, at 10:05 AM, Nicholas Stock <nickst...@gmail.com> wrote:  I have a similar amount, but not quite that many. I find they last about 4 to 5 months then fail (probably through a short between cathodes). I got fed up changing them in one of Mr Nixie's clocks so it just sits there blank...It's a shame because they're quite 'cute' little tubes, but the IN17's last for years... I've only ever had one fail to date. On Mon, Dec 16, 2024 at 5:25 AM Richard Scales <rich...@scalesweb.co.uk> wrote: Nick, I have 1000+ so should be good!

I've just made an IN-2 version of the same clock, they are not quite so clear IMHO.  - Richard On Sunday, 15 December 2024 at 22:23:21 UTC newxito wrote: Some time ago, I built a series of calculators with different nixie types. The version with the IN-17 tubes is definitively my favorite. I'm not a big fan of LED backlighting, but it looks great with the IN-17s. The calculator has been running 24/7 on my desk since April 2023 (mainly in clock mode with PIR) and none of the 14 tubes have failed so far. Leroy Jones schrieb am Sonntag, 15.

Looks bright and clear.  Runs at around 1.2 mA at 170 volts using 30k anode resistor. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion and experience with the IN-17 tube. Any ideas or comments?     Thanks.   -Chuck -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
