There is one MK5017 clock that uses PNP transistors in the book I scanned which you can download from here: https://groups.google.com/g/neonixie-l/c/Ov-mzZ_pDig/m/G95NMJPKBQAJ it doesn't seem to use SP352s but at least a Panaplex display. /Martin On Monday, 18 January 2021 at 04:59:28 UTC+1

Yes, thank you I have seen it. I am currently trying to make a schematic of the power supply that is on the clock that I have. I have no voltages higher than about 125 ish in the clock. The 15Volt for the chip is derived from a zener on a 55 Volt line. Also Heath uses NPN transistors , and

Well I found another clock to work on, using SP352 displays It is marked DIGITAL CONCEPTS CORP, EC102 electronic calendar clock. It uses 3 SP352's for a 6 digit display. A MOSTEK 5017BA chip to run things. The display doesnt light up, at all. In attempting to check voltages, I cannot

Oh by the way. You will need three 555 tubes and one 557 just to spell your first name. Your last name starts with a B so that's a 555 but no idea what other letters you need. But you'll probably need 556 and/or 557 for that as well. On Sunday, January 17, 2021 at 10:20:34 PM UTC+1 Yohan Park

There are a number of on-line calculators to determine capacitor reactance, for example: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-RC.htm Also, if you do use a capacitor make sure you use a class “Y” capacitor; they are designed for use in an AC line. Anything else is a danger and / or fire

Adding a bit more... Capacitive reactance (its "resistance") Xc = 1 / (2 * Pi * F * C) So swap round Xc and C to be able to work out the capacitance required for a required resistance. For me in f = 50Hz land, Xc = 10k gives 1 / (2 * pi * 50 * 1) = 0.0032 = 0.32 uF - so I would start
