Re: [neonixie-l] Clock readout based on changing resistance Ohmmeter

Use a CD4066 or a modern equivalent. I think it would work if the ohmmeter range (balancing resistor) was chosen the Ron of the switch. I really like the coil tap switches on the radios 1925 where the contacts are on the surface of the control panel. Dial up the time on four of those... Tom

I'm certain most of the list members understand we have an interest in something which you can't go to the local hobby shop to get and how cooperation between members (Tim's group purchase, Dieter sharing tube specs, etc ) is the only way we can do anything. In addition to the supply problem

Re: [neonixie-l] arteests

When I was going to school in Toronto there was a popular strip joint called Fillmore's which had neon nude women flashing above the door. It occurred to me too late to do anything that the sign had to go somewhere when they were closed down. I had no connections with them and no hope of

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: FS: Shameless Plug - NEW Nixie Thermometer Kit

Just wanted to say how much I like the kit. It works well - I just made it as in the original instructions, but may use the modifications for showing C better. The ZM1000 tubes are a very nice tube. Get the power supply - its only a few bucks and it is designed for this circuit. I nearly

Re: [neonixie-l] Any interest in IV-9 numitron clock kit?

Hi I've been designing an IV-9 alarm clock using all 4xxx CMOS. With little IV-9 experience ( I only have a one digit IV-9 clock that is working ) I'm adding a motion sensor and PWM brightness in the hopes it will extend the life of the filaments. I'd be interested in one of your clocks.

Hi Dylan, That's very interesting. Thanks for trying a different system. Same extrapolation errors. The apology cracks me up. It's especially funny to me because I own a Sony TR-610 and a Philco 850T. It's really difficult for me to understand how the Sony fits into the subject at all; no clock,
