If either of those work, you got a bargain. I thought it was worth a try too - you just beat me! I need to work on my eBay technique. -- 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

[neonixie-l] trading nixies?

Hello All collectors know the feeling when there is a type for sale they don't have in their collection. Many times, tubes are offered in too small or too large lots to build anything usefull out of it. I'm collecting tubes since 2 years and got many auctions with 3 or 8 tubes or something

[neonixie-l] Re: 6x Multiplexing Nixie Current

With most DC voltmeters you can safely assume that it measures the average. So having average voltage drop on anode resistor and resistance you can calculate average current, and then multiply it by 6 (if there is a dimming/anti-ghosting dead time between tubes, you might want to take it into

[neonixie-l] Re: 6x Multiplexing Nixie Current

Or you could put a big variable resistor in parallel and gradually reduce it until you are happy with the result. Bearing in mind you don't want to go too low (too much current). The data sheet for the tube might tell you an acceptable multiplex current. If it doesn't, I would look at some data

I only have a small collection, but I'll put together a trade list. Chances are that you have everything I would be willing to trade, but others might want to trade some of them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe

Whoat, sorry about that last post. I made the mistake of trying to post from mobile and apparently failed on the formatting front. Strange considering I didn't change the formatting at all. On Sunday, June 4, 2017 at 10:06:15 PM UTC-4, scotth wrote: > > First of all, thanks for accepting me

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Raspberry PI controlled Nixie display

I got my RasPi-based clock to display time last night, so proof-of-concept is done. Right now, I'm using seven b7971 tubes. All of the compute-related stuff is done via a 'C' program running on the RasPi. I had planned on adding an FPGA to offload the RasPi, but so far I have not seen a need

This is my list. I can't vouch for whether they are NOS or used (except where noted), but they are all clean and work: 122P224, 2 B5442, 2, NOS B5750S, 1 B5855S, 2 B5870ST, 1 CD80-P, 8, used LC-531, 2 used Plus I have surplus IN-12 NOS and IN-14 used -- You received this message because you

That's very true, bidding early rises the price and makes other people think. Most often they will end up willing to spend more money than they would bid in the last seconds of the auction. That's why I also never bid at all until last minute. Also, the "sniping" helps hiding how much you're

[neonixie-l] Re: Well I tried, big tubes on ebay this am

Nice! Hope at least one is working. The problem with auction's is, if you bid early.. people have time to think, and maybe decide to over bid you. On some item's i really wanted i made my bid in the last 5s. About spiking prices, this is usually when someone bids high early, like the price

Well anyway, I'm excited to see if they work. I hope they do, I have bought many untested tubes and so far had only one dud. Now I get to spend that money on other items in my long buy list, which seems to grow faster than the money comes in! On Jun 5, 2017, at 4:13 PM, Nicholas Stock

I've seen prices spike in the last few seconds; I was bidding on a set of 4 NIMO tubes a few years ago and the final price jumped 10X to over $1500 US in less than a minute. You really have to know when to call it quits, or enjoy your addiction. -- You received this message because you are

I utilize an eBay snipe service. Check out Gixen.com. It is amazing how close this service posts your bid compared to the seconds left in the auction. Ron ...Semper Fidelis... On Monday, June 5, 2017 at 7:03:18 AM UTC-4, Paul Andrews wrote: > > If either of those work, you got a bargain. I

Another option for a nixie socket/adapter would be the ones available from our friend Pete over at www.pvelectronics.co.uk. Pete is very active, and I have used his clock kits to build several clocks. I have also purchased the adapters you need to fix some of my horrible soldering jobs. Now
