Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Refilling tubes/different gasses

It's a lot less work than making IN-18s from scratch, that's for sure. On Saturday, 10 March 2018 03:08:05 UTC+3, Jens Boos wrote: > > I am not sure if it is simple to do, especially if you are aiming to > refill the tube by attaching a stem close to the base. Heating up soda lime > glass is

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Refilling tubes/different gasses

I am not sure if it is simple to do, especially if you are aiming to refill the tube by attaching a stem close to the base. Heating up soda lime glass is not a piece of cake, and it is very likely to crack if you are not very careful. The proximity to the metal pins at the base makes this even

[neonixie-l] Re: Refilling tubes/different gasses

Looks like all they've done so far is pop an existing IN-18 and refill it with their own mixture. That's fairly simple to do, but it won't run for long since they spoiled the getter. Different noble gases in tubes would be amazing though. -- You received this message because you are

Re: [neonixie-l] Refilling tubes/different gasses

I'm kind of with Jens on this. None of the production process is shown and as we know from dalibor, it's complex and takes years to get right. Pretty sure dalibor has used different gases too. The Penning Mixture of Ne+Ar is completely standard - the others are interesting but maybe not

Terry, Sorry for my late reply, its been a crazy week. I'll box them up and try to ship them out Monday. Warren. On Mon, Mar 5, 2018 at 7:43 AM, Terry S wrote: > Yes that would be fine, PM sent with address. Thanks! > > On Sunday, March 4, 2018 at 10:48:08 PM UTC-6, J

I need more detailed photos, especially of the tube-base connection that is covered by the cables in the first picture. Otherwise it could just be photoshopped ;-) On 3/9/2018 1:44 PM, Joe Croft wrote: Wow, way cool! That and argon ne2 bukds would make a pretty nixie neon clock :) -joe On

Re: [neonixie-l] IN-8 lab model

IN-8's have the normal 5 and not the upside down 2. This ones seem to also have the normal 5, but the red coating makes difficult to see clearly. I have several (production run) of them, with the thick beehive grid from different recent (80's) datecodes and they were all made by Melz too. On
