Jeff:
Your methode sounds like the easiest...
I'll run the clock for a few days in the clocks "test mode" where all the
tubes counts from 0 -9 repeatedly. This way all numbers will be used evenly.
I was afraid to do this as i have read that if a tube is driven with to much
current, so that
BooBooBeGone:
Let them run in the circuit for a few days and see if anything changes. They
are OLD tubes and have been sitting around a long time before this operation.
You can always lower the voltage but that probably isn't necessary or even the
way to go. You should be driving the tubes
Voltage is irrelevant, other than just being high enough to initiate
ionization. These are not modern digital logic ICs. Things are not that
precise. This is kit, so there are anode current limiting resistors
preventing excess current. I don't know your electronics background, but
voltage and
Found a datasheet online, stating that fire voltage for the Z566 is 150v
Max voltage 170v
Since i have 170V at the moment, maybe i shoul try to set it at around 160V?

Yikes - sounds like tube problems to me too. The wires running from the
tube pins to the numbers is usually coated with something to prevent them
from glowing. The tubes could just be bad. However, if the tubes are run
at higher voltage or current, the wires at the base of the tube can glow.
