Sorry, I only have the one for the Black'n'Wood, which is similar. I would have to ask for Dieter's permission to share it anyway, so why not ask him directly if he is willing to share the schematics here? Also, since the design is direct drive with all discreet components, it isn't that hard

That's basically what I use in my designs. I'll highlight the differences: - I use a PMOS instead of PNP, mainly because it requires no drive-current. - R1 & R2 are replaced with a pot to make the current adjustable. - The above pot can driven from a small DC-DC converter (my

I would recommend using design like first one from link below: I haven't tested it myself, but it looks like it loses less power (doesn't have any resistors going from 200V to GND), and the mentioned minimum voltage drop on it will be not noticable in nixie application. It is not really a

Actually no idea how far "they" got relocating the files and photos from the old Yahoo Group. The intro to this group doesn't tell much. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/neonixie-l I see stuff like this on the web, but it doesn't seem to match even though they purport to be discussing
