I'm actually using a CPLD (FPGA) for my next project, because the attached RasPi is running Linux and does not have guaranteed response time. It's too risky to have logic controlling something critical, like a DCDC converter, if the behavior is not deterministic at all times. Leaving a transisto

Hi. I use Mill-Max 9548, which is quite similar, in my Nixie watches. It works well. However, I also anchor the tubes in place with a piece of foam mounting tape.

A set of 6 for 150 euro is much lower than what I recall seeing on Ebay; I've seen individual tubes going for that price. Almost seems too good to be true. Heck, that's a great price for six IN-18's which are smaller at 40mm high. If it turns out the tubes are 150euro *each*, you are much better
