Hi Kerry, I'm also a KiCad fan... I've switched to it and most of the engineers at work have followed along for our non-product boards - test fixtures and such. You will find loads of decent on-line support via YouTube videos and such. The package includes a pcb trace calculator as Greg

[neonixie-l] Elektor Nixie Kit on YouTube

Marco Reps has put up a video of assembling the Elektor Nixie Kit using IN-12 tubes: https://youtu.be/ge_9CNiZZ_A As usual, he throws in a few twists with the assembly and various soldering techniques. Nice though.

Hi Kerry, If you just want something close to 67.5 volts, snap 8 9 volt batteries together. That will produce 72 volts open circuit but will pull down a few volts under load. If you plan on using it a lot, then you might want to use these batteries

A boost converter will be also a lot smaller, even with a big LC filter, which is recommended to keep your B+ free of converter noise. Also, efficiency will be much higher (80% is very realistic). Are you able to determine current drawn from B+? Is the circuit drawing constant amount of

The problem with a lot of solutions is EMF from the power supply messing up the radio. I would recommend a couple of things: 1. Post on antiqueradios.com 2. Take a look at this article: http://www.dos4ever.com/battery/battery.html On Monday, May 7, 2018 at 8:27:52 AM UTC-4,

[neonixie-l] circuit board creation.....

Hi Guys, First off let me say that I know little about porting a circuit design into a workable PC board design.. I could probably do this using perf board and point to point wiring, but I'd prefer something more reliable (and probably better looking) Having said that, can someone tell me
