Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Dekatrons with thyratrons

2013-10-03 Thread Matthew Smith

Thank you, Eric, Threeneurons.

What I am taking away from this is:

* Keep my thyratrons for the reason I bought them: spares for my Geiger 
counters. (I have two: because the original wasn't working, the Ebay 
vendor sent not the parts (missing GM tubes) I asked for, but a whole unit.)


* Consider a build with thermionic tubes. Haven't used them before, but 
have been looking for an excuse. If I had lots of time and money, I'd 
love to convert a Verilog clock design back to discrete logic - with tubes!

Yeah, be careful with those ones, David. They look like the lower voltage 
types.

To be fair, though, they look like they can take pretty high current.

RE: [neonixie-l] Found a drawerful of 7441s!

2013-10-03 Thread chuck richards
Wow.  Screwed again!   That's about like every time
I walk in to Skycraft in Orlando, FL and walk back
to their drawers of TTL.  I always check the drawers
labeled 7441, 74141, 74142and I always see the same
old dust in each of them, but no ics.

However, checking the 4500 drawer, I found it slam full!!
Bought 5 of them, and have yet to fire up a 4500, but
am planning to when I have some time.  4500 is a one-bit
16-instruction processor.  And, here's the best part
about it:  It can run at a clock speed from DC to 1 mHz.
I like the DC part.  (can you say push-button?)

I am working on the Submillimeter Telescope today, fixing a fine old

German instrument.

I found a parts cabinet with TTL part numbers on all the drawers.

Here's the 7441 Nixie driver drawer:
