[neonixie-l] Inside an E1T

2020-04-21 Thread Dekatron42
If you cut off a few of the pins (in some cases you need to cut off all) on the top you can remove the top mica sheet and look down into the tube. Sometimes they flattened the pins or welded small pieces of flat wire to them on the top so then you’ll have to cut off all to be able to lift the

That's an impressive bench! (both of you) The Heathkit 2.5 digit MM is funny to watch as the sample rate is very slow. ~ *mcvei...@gmail.com * On Tue, Apr 21, 2020 at 1:34 PM Nicholas Stock wrote: > Ha! You're clearly crazier than I am :) > > On Tue, Apr 21, 2020 at 1:29 PM Mark

The 4mA minimum load is livable; even at 300V it's only 1.2 watts. It's probably required for safety reasons so that you dont have an open unregulated output. In fact, a lot of switchmode supplies require a minimum load, otherwise the output goes to zero volts. Please be VERY careful with this

Yep, an IP-17didn't need to do anything to mine fortunatelyvery useful for some projects! On Tue, Apr 21, 2020 at 12:34 PM Mark Moulding wrote: > Dig that Heathkit power supply (IP-17? or IP-2717?) at the lower right! > I have one also, and it's a great unit - 0-400 VDC,

Dig that Heathkit power supply (IP-17? or IP-2717?) at the lower right! I have one also, and it's a great unit - 0-400 VDC, well-regulated, at 100 mA, plus bias and filament supplies, all done using vacuum tubes. There's nothing like it available now at any price that I could find. No need,

Thanks for sharing! Does it have built-in current limiting? 400mA is quite deadly at these voltages... Jens On 2020-04-21 1:00 p.m., Paolo Cravero wrote: Hello. I got the idea on this group and now it is time to revamp it. Electrophoresis power supplies generate DC well above Nixie needs
