Re: [neonixie-l] Re: NIMO Patents

Hi That is so good and so interesting. The tube construction is quiet different to the NIMO tube that we see around that displays only single characters. So as Greg suggests it is a follow on patent ... you have given me new leads to follow. Ta Grahame On 25/04/2023 18:52, Dekatron42

I think that was a follow-on patent to make the single-character NIMO tube into a multi-character version. Some of the sales literature shows a 4-digit display. Neat idea, but by then 7-segment LEDs were getting a lot cheaper and led to the death of NIMO, Nixie, Numitron, and

[neonixie-l] Re: NIMO...

There was another twist on the NIMO tube that used an external deflection yoke to show multiple digits on a single line; I believe it 4 or 6 digits. Never saw this 8x8 tube before; that must be one RARE device. In order for a NIMO tube to display multiple lines of multiple characters (like a

[neonixie-l] Re: NIMO

Jorg - Are you using AC, or DC for your filaments ? I use a center-tapped 2.5V transformer, with a series dropping resistor and fuse, for each tube filament. The center-tap of the filament transformer is driven to a DC voltage to set the correct bias. I have my NIMO board running with 4.8

Well the pair went for $652. Did anyone here get these? BTW, did IEE ever actually sell the NIMO 64 tube? It looked, from the pictures I saw, that it was essentially 64 dual grid triodes arranged in an 8 x 8 array with 64 character masks. I surmised that an individual triode was turned on when
