If you have to replace an electrolytic that's in a warm place use a
Electrolytic caps can dry-out and become near-short-circuits. It's not
common, but I have had that happen to me once.
Also look for signs of overheating on the PC board.
Voltage regulators are pretty robust; many of the common ones (such as the
LM78xx series) shut-down when overloaded

Welcome! Jeff
Your clock needs to have its parts checked individually for shorts. This
usually involves desoldering things.
I fixed one of those clocks once, took a couple hours of surgery to repair
the PC board where it had developed a carbon track under the HV switch FET.

I am wondering if someone could help me to solve my Nixichron problem.
Today, after 3 weeks off I plugged in my Nixichron again and my breaker
then jumped :(
My power adaptor (220V/12V) is dead. I used another one but my clock don't

I disassembled the clock and checked the 1,5A
Welcome Pascal! First thing to check is that the power supply is working
correctly. I presume you have a voltmeter?
Best,
Nick

Hello to all Nixies fanatics.
I am a French owner of one awesome Jeff Nixichron for about 12 years and I
was very happy with it.
I am a LED flashlight collector since years 2000 and members of
CandlePowerForum (not very active now).
So I am a watch and clock collector too ;)
I find your group
