Some of the parts have date-codes; looks like 1984 to 1986. Maybe post-Chernobyl equipment ??

[neonixie-l] GM tube for : Old Russian Beta Radiometer
Electronics Goldmine in Denver Co also has a vast assortment of Russian GM tubes and full and semi kits for implimenting them. good luck pharma Phil -- Original Message -- From: GastonP Date: December 12, 2018 at 8:11 AM There are lots of geiger tubes for sale on eBay. If you could post a high res picture of the inside of the equipment probably some of us could help. I am a big fan of geiger tubes (hey, they have gas inside !!!) and habe bought more than a couple from the ex-USSR.

It has a lovely Nixie display including a bar graph tube. I recently got fuses for it and was able to power it up. It looks like it still works perfectly. It is missing the actual detector and has several sockets on the bottom. Since this is some old Soviet Military equipment I have been unable to find any information about it. Just thought I would post some pictures here for your viewing pleasure. If anyone is able to find any information at all on this device please let me know. It would be great if I could figure out how to connect up a detector tube to this thing.

[neonixie-l] Repair / Troubleshoot an IN-18 Blue Dream
Hi All, I have an IN-18 Blue Dream that has run happily for 6 years in a dust free display case. During that time, I had just one tube go bad with an apparent gas leak. I have been operating it on a timer so it only powers on every evening which has also worked fine. Just a few days ago, the tubes didn't light up when expected. I powered it up on a second 12V supply (confirmed working) but no joy. The LED's light up, but on initial inspection it seems I have lost the internal 170VDC power. I am not a specialist and have no schematic so I was wondering if anyone has skills or knowledge to help me troubleshoot this.

A loupe, good light and a reasonably sized solder tip does the trick. Most of the components are 0805 (resistors, caps, LED's), they are also the smallest. The LT3757 chip in the power supply is a bit tricky; small pin pitch and it has a pad on the bottom that needs to be soldered to ground. I could eventually pre-solder it on a kit, if I make one. Also, the 5V buck converter IC is pretty small (SOT-23-6), but slightly easier to solder than the LT3757. Maybe I'll release the schematics. It is based on the LT3757 datasheet, with some modifications. Certainly not the cheapest supply, but it runs smooth without significant heating.. - Øyvind -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
