Which is why you use a string of them in series for this sort of thing. With appropriate insulation, I saw glass tube used in a physics lab. On Sun, 31 Oct. 2021, 12:31 am 'John Rehwinkel' via neonixie-l, < neonixie-l@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Most DMMs have 10Meg input impedance, so you can

Success!!! I really appreciate all of the help from Tristan and others. Nice to have my clock back. Turns out the trace from blanking from pin 9 of the 74HC74 takes a very long route around the edge of the board in reaching pin 2 of U17 (6N137). There was a small defect in the copper trace
