[neonixie-l] Rejuvenating an NL-8091

2019-10-13 Thread Bill Notfaded

Hey Gaston! Thanks for your input I really appreciate it, This week I'll try and get the parts you mention, been investigating and learning a lot about powering and Threeneuron's Pile o'Poo is definitely a great starting point. How do you feel about the MPS8598? I think I can easily get some of

Had an 8091 in my stock with a couple marginal cathodes. There was a small amount of poisoning on the '5', '8', and '2'. Zapped them with a sustained helping of about 12ma each which cleaned them right up. Strange things is, the process seemed to rejuvenate all the others and make them all
