Re: [neonixie-l] More crazy because of anime movie...

2019-05-03 Thread Bill Notfaded
At least maybe you guys can retire sometime... I'm afraid I may work a long
time.  Just this year reached my fifth decade and all I can say is I
noticed some stuff hurts more now... Like in my shoulder and elbow working
on networks and computer science all day.

I am excited about one thing though today!

I ordered a numiqueen and em800 magilyzer kit from our own Mr. Nixie
himself Juergen Grau!  I'm psyched.  I have a four digit iv-13 clock now
but not a 6.  His clock is built the exact way I'm working on some DR20x0
numitron clocks right now.  I scored a few NIB em800 tubes too so my studio
stereo will have a new attraction soon.

Lot's of neat projects going on at the same time... I really want to get
these dekatrons running... I hope scuba guy comes back from vacation and I
hope it's not retirement because I really am interested in his technology.

Bill

Cant be legitimate bidding; these tubes are neither large nor shown

I highly doubt you’ll do the tubes any damage using a good desoldering station. 
As I said, i safely pulled over 100 DR2000 numitrons out of boards that were 
soldered in like that with no issues

If it's not fiberglass you could core and break the PC board. You might have to

Yeah, saw these go crazy too. Not sure why, these have are not the tubes used 
by people building a divergence meter.

I didn’t realize that these were tubes with pins soldered directly to the 
board. First time I’ve seen that.

Ah, the old Soldapult. I have two of them. But for this I'd use a rework 
station. As others have said you want minimal heating time on those pins.

Hint. the Soldapult works better if you put a short piece of teflon tubing over 
the tip. I've used that trick for years.

[neonixie-l] More crazy because of anime movie...

2019-04-28 Thread Bill Notfaded
https://www.ebay.com/itm/NIXIE-Tubes-Assembly-National-Electronics-NL-900-7-tubes-/254212409800

I bid early on the when it was less than 100$... The fact that the tubes are 
soldered to the board may not be good for them.  I'm not experienced with 
soldering tubes to boards... It's just not the method I would do I don't think.

Can you degass or hurt the tubes with heat on the pins?
