Yes I did send an email to PV detailing my concerns. I am currently underway with the rest of the build and it is progressing smoothly. I have no doubt that it will be another great nixie clock to enjoy for many years. My intention here was to encourage others to double check their kits before

I just checked my elite boards and there are no bridges, so chalk this one up to an erroneous solder job. The number of people who can adeptly do fine pitch SMD work pales in comparison to those that can adequately solder through hole.i’m sure Pete does not want to deal with the inevitable

Nick, As far as I can tell, there are no two adjacent circuits that should be bridged on an HV series serial to parallel converter. I've implemented this chip in several of my own designs. (Unless its a bodge fix for a board layout error, in which case the board should be fixed before being sold

For hot air rework, the Quick 861DW is the best value in my opinion (not affiliated with quick). It competes with stations over twice the price. EEV blog and Louos Rossman have reviews on it. On Sat, Jul 20, 2019, 10:34 AM Paul Andrews wrote: > I think 87.8% efficiency is great. > > As far as

I think 87.8% efficiency is great. As far as soldering SMD stuff, get some solder paste and a hot air rework station. It makes short work of those things. Also a magnifying head set for my aging eyes! > On Jul 20, 2019, at 9:22 AM, newxito wrote: > > I did a short test with the components

You may want to check that the bridge isn’t deliberate before removing it. While, I agree with the spirit of this statement. If you look at my photos they do not appear to be bridged at all. There is just solder debris between the joints that could present an issue. Sent from my iPhone >

I did a short test with the components shared in “yet another nixie power supply”, just changed the output caps (450V) and the voltage divider. It worked ok with 300V/40mA, the efficiency is not great but ok, 87.8% with 12V input voltage, the transformer temperature stabilized around 42 ° C.
