The colons are not from Dalibor. The wiring through all of these tubes was
a nightmare. I only had 5 wires available for the whole thing so even the
colons had to be smart. The cylinders for the colons are also curtain
parts. Amazingly, they fit quite well :-)
You're right Greg, I really should do this, even though the glass breakage
insurance would probably pay for it.

Great work indeed - can you tell me - for the colons - are those from
Dalibor? I am looking for matching metal parts to make some of my own.

I hope you attach a small anchor to the wall near the top of the clock. It
would be a horrible tragedy if this got tipped-over.
In our house, it would be a matter of minutes before the dogs knocked it
over.

Cat6 is also available shielded. Just don't pull any current through the
shield.

2 meters of cat6 cable (AGW 23) is about 0.16 ohms, plus any connectors.
Since you are drawing 300mA or less, the voltage drop will be 50mV or less.

That’s a lot of useful information, thanks Nick, thanks Greg.
I will follow your advices in order to avoid problems with the ground. I
will give CAT6 a try but first I will make some tests and measure the
voltage drop, the wires are very thin and I expect a total cable length of
2m.
On the
CAT6 is a good idea; use pairs for
- +170VDC/GND
- VCC/GND
- SCL/VCC
- SDA/VCC
If you recall, I2C uses pullup resistors, which is why you use VCC as the
other signal in the pair. For SCL, put the termination resistor at the
receiving end. Even though the termination resistance
You seem to have already taken care of the normal recommendations. So,
first make sure the metal tube is grounded at the base. Second, make sure
that it doesn't connect to the ground at the far end of the tube near the
nixies - that way, you will avoid signal currents using the tube itself as
I’m a little bit concerned about generating a lot of EMI in this project.
I’ve added an image, so you can see what I’m trying to do. The controller
will be hidden in the base of this old lamp. I will need 5 wires going all
the way up into a horizontal tube. The nixies will be mounted with the
Spinning nixies? That's cool, I hope that one day you will build this

Plus shipping which is $18. If for the tubes alone it's $12 that's still only
$16 apiece. Matched and well-packed.
