Re: [neonixie-l] Re: IN-8-2 Anode wire broken

[Christian Riise Wagner]

Instead of using just one cathode as anode, if you're using it for the 10s 
of hours, you can hook up all the remaining 7 cathodes to be anodes. I did 
this in one of my clocks. The striking voltage is still slightly higher, 
but it works quite well.

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: IN-8-2 Anode wire broken

[Michail Wilson]

Why not try to quick soldier a lead wire to it.  I’ve done it often with a 
number of IN-14s I’ve received.   Especially since I use the decimal points 
which many have had the legs cut off when they were installed in equipment half 
a century earlier.Flux it up and a quick hit with iron and solder to tin it 
and then again when you get a wire you’re happy with to soldier to it.

theoretically possible.

[martin martin]

I used the conductive adhesive on a Mini Cooper to repair the window
antenna for FM.

It did not work at all.

I just tested , plugging the number 8 on +170V, all the other number are

[neonixie-l] Re: IN-8-2 Anode wire broken

[gregebert]

Atom Adhesives sells electrically-conductive adhesives, but be aware of the 
cost. It's probably best to get a new tube, because any vibration or 
movement is likely to break-off the bond. Remember- you cant use a large 
glob like regular adhesives to add bonding-strength because it will short 
to adjacent pins. [OK, you could put sleeves on all of the other pins, 
apply an insulating layer of non-conductive epoxy, then bond over all that 
with a large glob of conductive epoxy. What a mess.]
I've only used their thermally-conductive epoxy and it works nicely.

Another option is if you dont need all 10 digits, you might be able to use 
one of them as an anode. I've never actually done that before, but it's 
theoretically possible.

[neonixie-l] IN-8-2 Anode wire broken

[Benoit Tourret]

Hello, do you know if there is a way to fix a broken wire on a IN-8-2 
nixie, it is cut just at the level of the glass. and, of course, this is 
the anode...
do you think that a conductive glue could work ?
