[neonixie-l] Green Nixie tube?

2022-12-23 Thread Miles Thatch
Good day, everyone. I'm wondering, do green Nixie digital display tubes exist? From what I understand, the color of the discharge depends on the vacuum and type of gas but I've not seen any images showcasing one with a green color. Is there such a thing? -- You received this message because

Good day, everyone. I'm just getting into the subject of Nixie tube making. I have gotten to work with some new old stock nixies and some de-soldered miniature digit tubes and now I'm curious about the process of manufacturing my own. I found the Dalibor Farni channel

Dan, I need to disagree with you on several counts. It's an .062 board and the vias are small. Plenty of space between D+ & D- and the ground plane, at least 10 mils. It's likely just a 2 layer board, but as someone who spent 25 years of my career designing PCBs, I find very little fault with

Not quite what I said. At the top end of the condition range, by 'a few tens of dollars' I was indicating something in the $20 - $50 region depending on the specifics of the particular tube and market appetite at that time. G10/241E is not a common tube, but it's also not a real rarity.

Primarily a tube collector item I'd suggest. They're fiddly to drive and the display is much less visually striking than other dekatron types, so there's not a lot one can do with them in the direction of a clock or similar. And then there's the question of condition - many G10/241E don't work
