Yes, it's merely an illusion of perception. The toggle switch on the left
does *not* reverse the direction of the dekatron; rather it reverses the
flow of time. As the observer travels backwards in time, the dekatron
appears to spin backwards, and the tick-tock looks like tock-tick. It's
all

I see that he used an old Beckman, Universal EPUT and timer for the
clock basics. Many people do not know what EPUT meant. It stood for
'Events Per Unit Time', just FYI. There's your trivia for the day. Ira.

reverse the decatron, it stops going 'tick-tock',,,and instead goes
'tock-tick'. LOL. Good for you, and many thanks, Ira.

Hello everyone! I've been lurking on this list sporadically for a few
months, and now that I have something specific to share/contribute I
decided to join.
I've been a mad scientist all my life, and have always been fond of
tubes. After seeing several examples of nixie clocks on the web, I
Does it? Or is that just the way you perceive it?

Heater voltage, I think you mean. How many are you running? Connect one
heater pin (1 or 11) of each tube to 5V through a 47 ohm resistor, then the
other pin of all of them together to ground through one resistor, of 20
ohms divided by the number of tubes. So for 4 tubes, use a resistor of 20/4
Thanks for your reply! Yeah I mean pin 12 to 25 VDC, mis-type.
So for the first part. I will have 8 tubes. So I put 47 ohm in series with
pin 1 to 5 v and all 8 pin 11s together and through a 20 ohm. Well,
everything gets better when my dmm gets here.
The method of testing you said is great! I
