I finally got around to wiring my GI-10 up to an MCU so I could use it in an active display. The videos below just show it cycling through all of its digits. The top view video doesn't do it justice - it looks really nice. I might have to make it some special one-tube clock hardware, rather

Another option would be that Big Clive guy - He'd happily tear it down (and likely set it on fire) - Both are characters :)   Mark From: SWISSNIXIE - Jonathan F. To: neonixie-l Sent: Tuesday, July 4, 2017 1:15 PM Subject: [neonixie-l]

At least this supply *appears* to be isolated; without schematics it's hard to be sure. You can try to do leakage tests between the output(s) and ground, but that requires care if the output is also grounded. This particular supply has 2 prongs, so I would guess it's ungrounded. -- You

Thank you all for your responses and especially for sharing pictures. The oscilloscope in Dave's father lab looks much like my Tek 7000R (7603R). It is about as old as I am. And after seeing this picture I asked my parents if they had a picture of them taken while at work, but no. Then I

The sad thing is that one could totally fit a proper Nixie power supply in there, using for example a TaylorEdge module (they are tiny!) coupled to a reasonable 12V supply. Jens On 7/4/2017 4:41 AM, Roddy Scott wrote: Looks like a 240vac to 110vac electric shaver supply with the shaver plug

Now that is what you call real electronics! None of those mysterious plastic blocks with metal legs and invisible resistors. They knew how to make stuff in those days! On Tuesday, July 4, 2017 at 12:13:36 AM UTC+1, Dave Brown wrote: > > Here’s a photo of the front panel of a dekatron based (for
