I get it now... that's what you meant by only having 120V here. On Friday, October 16, 2020 at 2:17:04 PM UTC-7 Bill Notfaded wrote: > Those are neat Paul. I wonder if they'd even light in a 120V AC socket? > Seems to me it might not work right since these look like they work like > IN-28?

Those are neat Paul. I wonder if they'd even light in a 120V AC socket? Seems to me it might not work right since these look like they work like IN-28? I have other neon tubes like this that do light but they're just dimmer than in 240V. Bill -- You received this message because you are

Thanks Paul and Martin- Sounds like I need to rethink this. I ordered a sealed box of new IN-28 from Ukraine today. I'm sure I'll have some extras if anyone needs them. I got them to replace any tubes in mine that don't look right or are bad. I'll take some pictures of my boards and post.

Good information Martin. The board as described to me by Richard has the grid resistor you mention, as does mine. Certainly, if someone is wiring up one of these tubes directly - in this case as colons for example - they need to be aware if this. > On Oct 16, 2020, at 3:32 PM, Dekatron42

Be careful if you decide to switch the grid electrode to ground as you might destroy the tube if you pass too much current through the grid electrode. Normally you should not leave the cathode floating (unconnected) while the anode is seeing full anode voltage and then connect the grid

I came across this old auction of Russian IGD7-KR tubes - basically IN-28 tubes packaged with an E27 socket so they can be used as regular light bulbs. I'm curious if anyone has any - I don't want to get any, I only have 120V here.

On my boards the cathodes for each segment are wired together and presented at the edge of the board. The grid is permanently connected to HV via a large value resistor. So each segment is like a cathode in a regular nixie tube - pull it to ground and it turns on, let it float and it turns off.

Anyone have any PNP transistor recommendations? Seems like SOT-323 size would be possibly ok if I could find some that can take enough voltage. How high of voltage should I be thinking about for these? You have to bear with me because I'm a CIS not an EE. For me the I2C parts make much

I found some of these power supplies now that put out 0-500VDC 0-2A with 4 sets of outputs. This seems perfect for a four or probably even 6 digit clock if the tubes are driven PWM. The power supplies even have 1V resolution. These power supplies have a fan in them so I'm interested to see

This is exactly correct Paul and I have both shown the 500V models we have here. I bought a second 500V one. I like the fact that some have four outputs too. These are used for genetic research. Bill On Thu, Oct 15, 2020, 1:20 AM Paolo Cravero wrote: > Hi. > > The PS Paul and I have goes
