Hi folks, I have had some time to troubleshoot my clock. I found that when running in night mode the tubes are supplied with around 1 mA, and when in day mode are supplied 5 mA. These readings are taken between the annode resistor (10k) and annode. My understanding is the tubes should

[neonixie-l] Datasheet, pinout, or hint for IV-29 single-dot VFD?
