[neonixie-l] HV Meters For Nixie Testing

This may be interest to many here. I have the PRO Nixie Tester: https://nixietester.com/project/pro-nixie-tester/ And I'm searching for a pair of digital meters to go with it. I can live with a voltmeter that only goes up to 199V DC but 300V would be better. What I'm really unsure about is a

Thanks Allen! Email me direct, I'll help you troubleshoot it or you can just mail the clock to me and I'll take a look. I still have various spare parts for repair. Save for a year or two of sitting in a box.. the first production, serial #1, 6 digit clock is still on my lab bench. Been

Welcome back! I’ve got one assembled 6 digit z57xm clock and believe it or not another kit that is still in its box. The one I put together ran for a number of years and developed a problem. I don’t remember exactly what at this moment. I am very interested in the new project you are working

Hi Martin! Thank you! Yes, I wrote the code for the 6 digit (and 4 digit) clock controllers. Those were actually offshoots from the original clock kits. Someone approached me to sell the controllers separately, and with a few code changes the controllers were born. Still sell a few here and

Hello Everyone! My name is Moses. This is my first post here on the new *google* neonixie-l list. I used to be on the list when it was on yahoo groups, 20 some odd years ago. I never switched over to the google group until now. Like they say, life is what happens when you're busy making other

This is one I made a while back. It uses the tube socket pins that LB(?) referred to. I see it isn't very well labelled, in terms of what value of resistors to use, and it uses surface mount resistors. Anyway, there it is. https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/G9c1wPoq On Monday, May 16, 2022 at
