Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Rare Nimo Tubes

My vote is to play it safe and find or make a supply that gives you 2.5kV. I was going to recommend a series dropping resistor, along with the 3kV supply, but I dont think that is a good idea. The reason is that while the resistor will provide a voltage drop at *nominal* current, it wont do an

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Rare Nimo Tubes

Does anyone have experience undervolting these to 2kV? I see on the datasheet that this moves it significantly down the brightness curve, but am wondering how noticeable it is in practice. I was thinking of picking up an Emco F20 PS which while not as cheap as I'd like seems like an easy way to g

Little more on these - I had a few broken ones in the bulk packing, so here are some internal shots showing the digit mask and one of the electron guns (one under each digit in the mask).

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Rare Nimo Tubes

You can use Photo Multiplier Tube (PMT) power supplies, buying them from Ebay is usually cheaper than in a shop. There was a clock called Cyclock that used the similar Telefunken XM1000 (if I remember correctly) that you might be able to Google to find the details. /Martin -- You received th

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Rare Nimo Tubes

I took the bait and picked up 4 of these to add to my future projects pile. That said, I've never experimented with voltages beyond the dekatron range. I don't know that I'm interested at this point in building my own kV PSU (although I would be eventually). Can anyone recommend a relatively ine

Anyone here have a NIMO clock they built ? I'm curious about their observed lifetime; datasheet says 10,000 hours which is slightly more than 1 year if running 24/7. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this grou

USD 100 each seems to be about the going rate. The ones I have are in the same bulk packing... Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to neonixie-l+un
