I have one too I've been meaning to clean up. How did you do the blades? I've never plugged mine in but the oscillation is missing a nut. Other than that, *I think* it is complete and in working order. On Jun 30, 2017 12:30 AM, "MichaelB" wrote: > VERY pretty, I love

I used paint stripper on the blades and then aluminum cleaner (see photos below). If your blades aren't aluminum, you would want to use a different cleaner. Is your fan a Wagner too? If so I suggest you look at this post.

Folks, I put a set of XN-11s into a PV Electronics QTC board and I am getting some weird things happening. Blurred and missing numerals and a spot on the anode mesh.

How do things look when you bench-test the tube on a DC supply ? Is the spot actually on the anode mesh itself ? Ionization occurs at the cathode, so this is indeed strange. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from

I don't have a power supply but the spot occurs on the mesh and with a different digit there is a a different spot. The tubes were NOS and I have had them lying about for over a year in a box. I have a couple of QTC boards so I am going to try them on those boards to see if they are the same.
