Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Cool clock with 6 x Z568M + 6 spare tubes...
Yep, thought so, sir Nick. Seems a shame to drive these beauties any any other way than direct drive. Judging by the photos on Ebay, which show rather dim digits, I would guess the tubes are multiplexed at their rated-current, which reduces brightness vs direct-drive. I definitely would *not* boost the current to compensate for this; much safer to make a new clock with direct-drive. Seems silly to me to save a few dollars by multiplexing when the tubes are so costly. 3500 euros.definitely not in my budget even if I were to sell the other 6 tubes and attempt to justify it as a wedding-anniversary gift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups neonixie-l group.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Cool clock with 6 x Z568M + 6 spare tubes...
I was thinking of this as a buy for the tube value alone. Then give those tubes to Michael Barile who would make me a fantastic Barile/Thomas Nixisat derived clock or clocks with those tubes.

The IN-18 tubes are an impressive 40mm, for about 1/10 the cost. Despite a few temptations, I have stayed away from digits larger than 20mm, partly for cost reasons, but also because the large digits seem skinny dim compared to smaller tubes. It appears that cathodes are not made 'fatter' for larger tubes, probably because that would impair visibility of other digits and they would also reflect more. I see 'Fake Gigantic Nixies' in my future. I agree. I'm quite happy with my ZM1040 clock. It is a nice size for a standard living room. Plus, the tubes cost only $9 each back when I built it in 2002. I remember people on the yahoo neonixie list giving me a hard time (for profiteering!?!) for reselling those tubes for $15 each after importing them from Switzerland.
