[neonixie-l] Raytheon nixie glow

Does anyone have Raytheon tubes they've worked with? I just picked up some CK8037's (replacement for Burroughs B5031) and they are so

[neonixie-l] Re: What voltage/current to run tubes at

See what voltage you need for the tube to strike in a dark room. If you run the tubes at too low current, you risk cathode poisoning. It won't appear immediately, but takes time. Weeks or months. What you'll eventually see is only partial illumination of the digits. Positive neon ions hit the

[neonixie-l] Re: A brief history of Nixie watches

I must say that thr circuit and the software part for me is very easy, but I have checked your newest design picture,seems the SMD socket which you use for installing the NIXIE tube is the 2.0mm female socket,I bought a lot of different brand socket,from 2.0mm to 1.5mm gaps, seems this kind of

One thing I have noticed in Fleabay is that the price of IN-18s are returning to reasonable levels due to the large influx that seems to be happening just now. Some available for as low as $44 per tube but there are still a few that are chancing their arm at higher prices. I suppose it is

[neonixie-l] Re: What voltage/current to run tubes at

Dieter's http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/nixie/nixie-tubes.htm has data sheets on all common tubes available. The data sheets on this tube recommend 2.5mA. Tubes should be operated within the values supplied otherwise you will have

If you have pwm available, i would use the duty cycle for adjusting the brightness. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to

Terry, Thanks. This is why I have a dozen versions - I keep at it until it's good enough for me. Most people stop at the first version that works. On 2/7/2017 11:43 AM, 'Terry S' via neonixie-l wrote: Actually David, there is a whole slew of rather clunky nixie watches showing up on ebay

[neonixie-l] Re: A brief history of Nixie watches

I would like to say thanks to you David for your help when I was designing my Nixie watch. So far it has lasted a week on my arm without any problem. I am an electrical engineer and the watch is worn throughout the day as a normal watch. I guess the tubes will be the thing that will fail first

[neonixie-l] What voltage/current to run tubes at

finally got a power supply and am wondering what to run my IN-1 tubes at IIRC your supposed to use current to change the brightness right? i set the supply to 140v and am using 10K or 20K ohm resisters on the cathode and get 1.01-1.24ma at 10Kohm and 0.65-.083ma at 20Kohm what the target?

Well, the animation looks pretty slick! But perhaps one can exchange the entire vertical board holding the two IN-16? On 2/7/2017 9:03 AM, David Forbes wrote: Oh, those tubes fail a lot? Too bad these folks didn't bother to put sockets on the tubes. On 2/7/2017 8:39 AM, Nicholas Stock

[neonixie-l] Re: Mounting IN-18 tubes

I use socket pins soldered into the PCB. Yes, there's also a hole in the PCB for the nib. The socket pins are low-insertion force, so it's very easy to remove the tube if necessary 0. Carefully bend any obviously misaligned pns. Be careful because the pins are very soft. Ignore the surface
