yes, but how about after 5 or 10 years and say 100 clocks. It's still wood and as we all know, electronic parts that fail can get very hot. Michel   on Jan 25, 2014, Quixotic Nixotic wrote: On 25 Jan 2014, at 06:10, Michel van der Meij wrote:> I would feel a bit anxious to leave a wooden clock swi

I would feel a bit anxious to leave a wooden clock switched on for say 24 hrs/day, especially if it is not my own design. Just worried it would catch fire at a moment I am asleep or not there. Is that just me or do other people have that same worry? I quite like the design though, not an immediate

How about this for a ZIF design: The contacts take the form of tubes with slits cut axially all round leaving rings uncut top and bottom to form a sort of tubular cage with no roof or floor. If the top ring is twisted while the bottom one is held the tube will collapse to a hyperboloid "cooling

I don't think ZIF sockets are necessary -- too much complexity -- but a LIF (low insertion force) socket would be cool. Imagine a socket consisting of a solid round cylinder core, with spring tensioned contacts surrounding the core, that would press against the pins when the tube is placed ove

For any bent tube pins I've encountered, I have used some angled needle nosed pliers and *very gently* straightened them by gently squeezing the pin flat in the jaws of the pliers. I always avoid doing this too close to the glass envelope as you'll risk cracking it. The pins on the IN-18's tend to

Here's how I straighten pins. First of all I NEVER hold on to the glass of a tube while straightening pins. I use a small pair, of smooth jaw, duck bill pliers, by placing them on the pin in the area of the bend and then squeeze the handles gently. Move around, and up and down on the pin to sev

Hi Konstantin, Can you tell to witch Selfscan® display the pannel belongs? That would be easier to look for information. Is it a linear bargraph, a 270° meter display, or a tekst display? eric _ From: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixie-l@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of kosbo.
