Yep, the ripple voltage increases dramatically, per multiplier stage,
given the same current draw. But

In the Mike Harrisson design (at least for US power), the HV nixie
supply is ~250vdc. I think that 200-210 should not pose any problem
provided that the current limiting resistor is appropriate.

I'll be using a combination of IN-1 and A-101 dekatrons and I was planning on
pushing the nixies slightly to 200-210V, so that the dekatron can get its
400-420V. I was worried about damaging the IN-1s, though -- not sure if
they'll take to 210V kindly.
No, won't hurt 'em, just adjust the
Although, if you are using a voltage doubler to get your HV supply, you

voltage doubler for the nixie HV is a hassle: as you increase nixie
current, HV supply voltage drops.. Use ohm's law to calculate the value
