Hi all, I just built a 6-digit nixie clock using NOS IN-16 tubes. The clock was working fine for about a day but then suddenly one of tubes went dark, except for the right hand decimal which is used as a status indicator. When the clock is power cycled, the errant tube comes back to life for maybe 30-40 seconds and then fades out again. It’s in the seconds position so I can see it sequence through each digit before it fades out. When I swap it into another position on the clock, the problem follows the tube. I’ve replaced it with another NOS tube and the clock is working fine again.
Does anyone have any thoughts on why tube would come to life for a short period of time when power cycled and then fade out?
