Re: [neonixie-l] Restoring tube which will not light up

[gregebert]

Make sure you are using excess anode voltage; spec is 135V but try closer 
to 200V. Higher voltage does NOT harm a nixie; excess current does, so make 
sure you have a current-limited supply, or add some series resistance. In 
this case, about 75K for a 200V supply is fine for 1 segment.

Did this tube ever work ?

If you cant get it to fire using the anode, pick 2 segments that are not 
adjacent for powering. If it glows, then there is a problem with the anode 
pin. I think this is very unlikely, but worth trying.

For a Panaplex I don't have a lot of experience, unfortunately. Are you 
sure it is not degassed? You can hold a plasma globe close by and see if 
there is any neon left inside of it. Jens

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: IN-28's in real life...

[gregebert]

My big clock simulates clock-hands with 306 NE-2H bulbs; during self-test, 
all of them light-up and you can actually *feel* the light on your face. 
It's a weird sensation because the bulbs dont actually heat-up and 
re-radiate in that short of time.

These things won't light reliably at 175V. In my experience you will need 
more like 240V.

"Okay, so we all realize that getting cables up off the floor is a nice little 
tweak, but not earth-shattering. However, Caelin assures me that the 
improvement offered by the new design is on the level of changing a component… 
say what?! Seriously, he believes the new DF-SS is a revolutionary product for 
the genre that can offer improvements far beyond what one would expect from 
such an accessory. Shunyata has even invested in custom hardware (a miniature 
accelerometer small enough to attach to a cable) to measure the effects of 
vibration on cables and the reduction the DF-SS offers."

"In addition to the patented energy-field neutralization material used in the 
original DFE, the DF-SS incorporates two forms of vibration isolation that 
quiets energy transfer between the floor and any cable product. The most 
significant advance applied to the DFSS is the dual-band cable suspension 
bridge, designed to support any cable, power or signal, while dissipating 
vibrational energy through the purposefully tensioned polymer bands. The second 
innovation is the energy-absorbing granular compound that fills the base of the 
DFSS. This compound formulation absorbs floor-borne energy that would otherwise 
couple to the cable, causing signal degradation."

What is your plan for powering this display? I ask because I also have 4 
modules that I'm trying to get to work.

As far as I can see, at 13mA per tube, lighting all 23 digits requires 
0.3A, which at 175V is like 52 watts? And that's just one of the digits.
