Wait If there's a power outage, wouldn't that cause the magnets to stop working, and wouldn't it cause the thing holding fhe nixies together to come crashing down on whatever surface the base is on? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l"

Ouch! That auction ended at $373 (US). I think the consensus in this group is that the tubes were near the end of their useful life. However, if anyone here did end up buying them, please let us know their condition once you get a chance to test them. BTW, according to Ebay, Dalibor has sold

[neonixie-l] Re: OT: MOSFET in PWM application

It would best if you could post a schematic. Some things to be aware-of 1. Most, if not all, MOSFETS have a reverse-biased diode between source & drain. This needs to be considered during circuit design. 2. Vgs is breakdown is the easiest way to kill a MOSFET. I can't tell from the description

[neonixie-l] Re: Why are these Burroughs 6844A so expensive?

I still don't understand. I thought since these nixies can be found quite easily for a tenth of the price elsewhere, such high prices would scare buyers away, since they have to make a strange offer. Alsio, if I'm part of a company looking for a specific Nixie tube, eBay is probably the last

Meh. That's just the Buy It Now price. I wouldn't offer more than $15 each for them and only then because they are New In Box. Round topped 6844's aren't reliable. It would be better to run some used 5092's for a few bucks than these. On Friday, July 22, 2016 at 1:58:47 AM UTC-5, Alic

[neonixie-l] Re: Why are these Burroughs 6844A so expensive?

Hello Alic Its always the choice of the store how many an item will cost. All "commercial" stores, will have high prices because their customers maybe need a specific part to operate a device. Its like this, a special switch for airplane will maybe cost 100$ in an airplane parts store, but

Hello, Which Blue Dream do you have? The IN-18 or the small one? For the small one there should be a test point TP1 for the high voltage (180V). The rectified input voltage and the 5V can be checked on IC2 (the 7805 or equivalent IC). On the IN-18 there are separate test points for 12V, 5V and
