anything online.

Re: [neonixie-l] NIMO

2024-05-12 Thread gregebert
I dont think IEE got their NIMO tubes into volume production, and I've 
never seen any photos of a real product using them. There is a photo of 
some kind of gizmo in the IEE sales literature, but that was probably a 
mockup. It's unfortunate that all the engineering effort and talent that 
went into their creation didn't get the recognition it deserved. Had they 
appeared 20 years earlier, perhaps nixie tubes would have been the rarities 
instead of NIMOs.

I have the thermometer. It's designed to only travel halfway up the IN-13. 
Seeing as how 140V x 4.5mA = 0.63W, perhaps Mike's playing it safe with the 
current. Or it may play nicer with "bad" ones.

Mike seems to be a fan of discrete circuits so there must be some magic going 
on here. You should ask him.

I'm not sure that I've ever seen it actually done that way.

Re: [neonixie-l] NIMO

2024-05-09 Thread gregebert
Are there any markings, part numbers, etc that indicate this tube has a 
different phosphor ? I suspect it could be an ultra-rare engineering sample.

Most of the NIMO tubes I've seen, which isn't very many, have 31 in the 
part number (P31 phosphor), though I have seen two with '92' in the part 
number that have a yellowish tint mixed with the normal green. I wasn't 
able to find any phosphor designated P92.

Re: [neonixie-l] IN-13 driver circuit resistor power rating

2024-05-07 Thread Zachary
Yes that does in fact confuse me even more. However I looked at the 
component list from the source of the image you sent ("M. Moores' Nixie 
Thermometer Kit") and he does use 1/4W resistors and not >1W like the 
Russian datasheet indicates so that's good.

Here's the circuit I currently have which is a mix of what I could find 
online. So far all of the components fit on a 25x20mm PCB (I intend on 
making small individual sockets). I'm using an I2C DAC (MCP4706) so that I 
can drive more than 6 bargraphs with an Arduino Uno (which can only do 6 
PWM at once) with fewer pins. This one has 8 addresses so 8 tubes.

I'm not sure what I need for Q2 however. Should I use a second MJD340 
(which is the SMD version of the MJE340 I've seen on many existing design) 
or any transistor will do? Or do I need it at all? Many designs don't 
include it for some reason. My understanding is that it's there for because 
of this from the Russian datasheet:
> "To avoid braking the light column when switching abruptly, we recommend: 
When switching on, the main cathode should not be on, and there should only 
be current on the auxiliary cathode."

2024-05-07 Thread Zachary
The IN-13 is only 4mA to fully light up. I think the formula for R3 and R4 
is P=(I^2)(V) since they're in series and that gives less than 0.1W for 
both. So I could use a 0.25W resistor for them. Does that sound right or am 
I using the wrong formula?

These tubes draw quite a lot of power. I've only worked on the IN-9, and I 
recall it needed close to 20mA to get a full glow, so 1-2 watts is the 
right ballpark. R1 & R2 will be around 100mW worst-case, so 0805 should 
work.

SMT resistors put a lot more of their heat onto the PCB than a traditional 
thru-hole resistor because of direct contact , so be sure to measure the 
temperature carefully. Most PCBs (FR-4) have a glass-transition temp around 
130 degrees C, so you want to be well below that for reliability.

No drama - all is fair etc etc etc!

I am just two short for a project - if you ever find that you have 
spare!

I am currently working on a 12 digit smart socket based project for other 
displays - I've done a bit with Smart Sockets over the years - if you end 
up going that route I'd be happy to compare notes.

Sorry bud, if I knew it was you…… Ummm, Ok, I would still have bid on them.  
Heh.
Finally, after many years of waiting on them, they appeared on ebay (at least 
that I have noticed) and barely got them because of the UK only listing.

I’m excited to make ‘something’ with them.

I won the auction which some might wonder how since they were not sold to the 
USA.
I’ve been talking to a guy from the Ukraine and he sent me a link.  I decided I 
wanted them, but seller would not ship out of the country.

I’m in a Bitcoin forum/chat rooms and someone I’ve dealt with for a while had 
me thinking….. I had him bid and pay for me.

Story on the auction… Not tested.  Auction says 6, but 4 extra included just in 
case.   So, possibly 10.   Since I’ve only ever had two, I decided to win it.
Talking to seller and it turns out they were part of the late John Smout’s 
collection.  Now I got really excited and thinking all 10 should be good.

Two days prior to having a friend bid on them had me worried, because he didn’t 
answer messages.  Uhhhg.  He came through and manually bid for me.

So, a double shipping, and I will find out in about a month.  Well, maybe 
longer since I don’t have any project boards, etc.

My guess is about 1125 L total.  Around $150 each assuming all are good.  Not 
considering the extras in the package yet.

Note:  I picked up another of his auctions as well which was VFDs.  IV-25’s

Re: [neonixie-l] Lighting of only cathode lead wires

2024-04-28 Thread gregebert
I've tried depoisoning a few of these 6844/5031 tubes with zero success, 
even at high current (20+ mA). They get hot, but wont clean-up. Whatever 
contaminates the surface of the cathode is rather stubborn. Perhaps it's an 
oxide; many of these failing tubes have a black haze inside the tube, which 
I suspect is Iron(II) oxide. There is a lack of oxygen, so the familiar 
Iron(III) oxide wont form.

I've given up thinking what a good price is now that looks like about

They are very nice tubes when lit up. They've gone to a good home

[neonixie-l] Lighting of only cathode lead wires

2024-04-28 Thread chuckrr
Well the facts are that the National NL-6844A tubes always test much better 
than the Burroughs versions do.

I know they are not ideal tubes.   No mercury.   Limited lifetime.  But they do 
look cool especially on a clock
that has them poking out the front.

I have seen this also on these tubes. The 6844A is an early tube design that 
didn't have mercury added to prevent cathode poisoning. I doubt that anyone has 
done recent research on this phenomenon, so we're left with conjecture. Here's 
mine: after the cathode gets poisoned, the plasma has to be generated 
somewhere. That somewhere is the lead wires. Later tubes had insulating paint 
applied to the lead wires to prevent this. It's usually white or green.

Re: [neonixie-l] Lighting of only cathode lead wires

2024-04-27 Thread Leroy Jones
Hmm.   This thread somehow got deleted.   But anyway, as I was 
saying.The National NL-6844A always tests better and with much more 
success than the Burroughs version ever does.
These are certainly NOT ideal tubes.  Short life.  No mercury.  But they do 
make up for their deficiencies by looking cool while they actually operate 
correctly.
Especially on a clock that has them mounted on a clear case, and sticking 
out the front.-Chuck

I have seen this also on these tubes. The 6844A is an early tube design that 
didn't have mercury added to prevent cathode poisoning. I doubt that anyone has 
done recent research on this phenomenon, so we're left with conjecture. Here's 
mine: after the cathode gets poisoned, the plasma has to be generated 
somewhere. That somewhere is the lead wires. Later tubes had insulating paint 
applied to the lead wires to prevent this. It's usually white or green.

[neonixie-l] Lighting of only cathode lead wires

2024-04-26 Thread Leroy Jones
Hello,  A while back I was testing a batch of Burroughs 6844A nixie tubes.
None in the batch worked correctly.   Only the cathode lead wires glowed, 
not the
digits themselves.   I have noticed this repeatedly on Burroughs 6844A 
tubes.

However, usually when National NL-6844A tubes (NOS and in the red boxes)
are tested, they all work properly.

What causes the lead-wire glow problem?  And why does this happen
more often with the Burroughs version?

Thanks, Chuck

[neonixie-l] Neon-filled Geiger Mueller tube by Amperex type 200N

2024-04-18 Thread Jon D.
I received an email about this today.  From 1958, a neon-filled Geiger 
Mueller tube by Amperex type 200N. (I am not affiliated with Electronic 
Goldmine in any way.)



For Geiger-Muller tube enthusiasts:  
https://theelectronicgoldmine.com/products/g27942?mc_cid=c31423c98d

Price $149.95

Description: 


   - Large mica end window neon-filled Geiger Mueller tube by Amperex type 
   200N is made for the detection of Alpha particles, however it also detects 
   Beta and Gamm rays. The 200N has a 1.31" dia. Mica end window and an 
   overall size of 4" long x 0.12" dia. near window (-) end and 0.255" dia. at 
   the (+) positive tip.
   - The specs are as follows:
   - - Plateau is in excess of 200V
   - - Slope plateau 5% to 10% per 100V
   - - Dead time approx. 200 microseconds
   - - 50 counts per minute max background (shielded 2" lead).
   - The 200N operates from 700 to 900VDC. All of the specs are from the 
   1958 Amperex Electron Tubes & Semiconductor catalog. The Amperex 200N tubes 
   that we have are New Old Stock and we test each one for operation before 
   shipping. Limited Quantity.

YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rS3TpvsZabE

I found this listed in Amperex_Electron_Tubes_and_Semiconductors_1958 
catalog on pp22, 23:

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Anyone want to collaborate on electroluminescent display projects ?

2024-04-16 Thread gregebert
Here's the current status as of April 16, 2024. The test display has been 
running for a few weeks now at low intensity, using my waveform generator 
(1kHz) and a reverse-wired power transformer. I'm not noticing any 
degradation of intensity yet.

The inverter design has stalled for a bit while I wrap-up another clock 
(uses IEE projection-type displays). SPICE simulations of the inverter are 
showing a lot of ringing, which has been a challenge to get rid of, and 
there is a mysterious asymmetry into the transformer. This is causing 
imbalance, and that results in a net DC current, which is not only wasteful 
but also will cause saturation of the transformer. I'm also trending to use 
a triangular waveform, rather than sinusoidal, because it results in 
constant current (well, at least theoretically...) for the display.

Opto triacs are easier to use than regular ones, so I expect to go with 
those and drive them from a serial chain of shift registers. I standardized 
a serial link for my projects using 10-conductor ribbon cable, using the 
same signals/levels as used by the HV5532 (and similar) drivers. Each 
IEL-0-IV display is 8 segments, so 48 bits will control a 6-character 
display via direct-drive. I wont use, or attempt to use, multiplexing. 
Adding more characters is as simple as adding more serial devices. Right 
now I think I will have 2 displays per board; keeping the PCBs less than 
100mm/side (4 inches) keeps the price way down at PCBWay. A run of 10 
boards is around 14 USD ($5 total for the 10 boards, $9 for shipping).

As far as controlling the serial link, I use a Raspberry Pi Zero W. I'm 
sure any controller will work as long as you use a level-shifter for the 
serial interface.

Re: [neonixie-l] Large weird round panaplex

2024-04-16 Thread Neil QQ
I do recall Krypton-85 as being one component of the gas brew.  The KR85 
half-life helps explain why we sold so many replacement displays for seven 
to ten year old units.  As I recall, the brew included seven gases with two 
of those being radioactive.  The required light dynamic-range of aviation 
displays is demanding.  They must be readable in blinding sunlight and 
barely lit at night to avoid night blindness.  The gas mixture played an 
important role in meeting those requirements.  The details of the displays 
themselves and the techniques for driving them were figured out long before 
my time.

The beginning of the end for the King panaplexes began in the late 90's.  
We were down to a single supplier for the proprietary gas mixture.  If I 
recall correctly, that supplier was Dale Electronics (contemporarily, 
Vishay) in Columbus, NE.  At some point they informed us they could not 
find a carrier to deliver the gas from Columbus, NE to Olathe, KS due to 
new, onerous regulations for hazardous material transport.  So we, King 
Radio, sent in-house trucks to pick up the gas cylinders.

One of my last great (in my head anyway) acts at King was having my crew 
develop a retrofittable LED replacement module.  It used bespoke, neon 
hued, Nichia LED's.

Re: [neonixie-l] Large weird round panaplex

2024-04-15 Thread Neil QQ
Until, at least, sometime in the early 2000's 90's King Radio (aka 
Bendix/King) was still selling NAV and COM radios using their own numeric 
panaplex type displays e.g. KX155, KX165.  These displays were custom 
designed and fabricated in-house in Olathe, KS.  To the best of my 
knowledge they were all neon orange monochrome.  The gas used was a 
proprietary witches brew that included several radioactive trace elements.  
I recall seeing a prototype ILS indicator similar to the one referenced in 
this thread.  I don't believe the King display was commercialized.

An ILS display shows deviation from the localizer (right-left guidance) 
horizontally and the glideslope deviation (up-down) guidance vertically.  
By "keeping the needles centered" the ILS will guide a pilot to the runway 
threshold.  Such displays were also used for VOR navigation using only the 
right-left needles (or lit segments in this case).  In the simplest case 
they would provide guidance to the VOR station and identify the cardinal 
radial direction that was being flown to reach the station.  When executing 
a simple form of an instrument landing system (ILS) the pilot flies, at a 
particular altitude, along a "to" radial to find a particular VOR station.  
Once directly over the VOR the pilot flies on a specified VOR "from" radial 
until the localizer (right-left) and glideslope (up-down) needles move into 
the active range (no longer parked and "flagged" at the display extremes).  
>From there the pilot "keeps the needles centered" until visual runway 
confirmation is obtained.

I found that one too.  Makes sense to me.  Would be cool if used in a movie

Re: [neonixie-l] SP-252 Smart Socket based device

2024-04-12 Thread Richard Scales
Hello Peter and thank you.

Yes, well, that HV module is rated at 30mA max - with all segments on that 
should draw about 36mA (based on an average of 200uA per segment) which is 
TOO MUCH - so I allowed space on the board for 2 x NCH8300HV or 1 x 
NCH6300HV.

So, theoretically - as it stands it is under powered - in practice - all 
segments are never illuminated at the same time. Things are not getting hot 
at the moment. There is a jumper to link the two sides of the clock 
together in terms of the HV supplies which allows the thing to run  from a 
single NCH8200HV - or a single NCH6300HV. 

Further measurements are needed to be sure.

Each display sits on its own PCB.

The shipping from France is $43.47. Way overpriced.

Magic Eyes are surprisingly expensive. 6E5s are common as dirt yet they seem to 
be semi-rare collectors' items:

<https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=6e5+magic+eye&_sacat=0=nc_PrefLoc=2>


I especially like the used ones with 75% brightness. As if that's going to last 
a long time. And the EM334 is NOT a substitute despite what it says in many of 
the descriptions. Nor is the Soviet 6E5S.

Is it just me or is $140 pretty steep for a common (and untested) EM84 magic 
eye tube? 

The whole thing strikes me as weird. The description is...creative. He has 
16,528 items and most of them are the same price regardless of what they are. 
Something just doesn't add up.

Re: [neonixie-l] SP-252 Smart Socket based device

Here we have 14 PCBs, 180 transistors, 360 resistors and 13 processors all working together to drive six SP-252 multi segment Panaplex displays using the Smart 
Socket circuit that was designed originally for B-7971 tubes.
It's taken quite some time to pull this all together, mostly because of all the SMD parts and my soldering skills - the resistors are 0603.

Regardless, the hardware is done, now working on the software to take advantage of 12 digits of alpha numeric neon.

Each display sits on its own PCB. Two Smart socket PCB's plug in to the back of the display board - one on top - one underneath - these then plug in to the backplane that has the power supplies, sensor and Wemos.Time is NTP synced, at 30 seconds past each minute it will display (in a scrolling  or some other transitioning style):The date - like" WEDNESDAY 10TH APRIL 2024"orSensor Data which is temperature, humidity, pressureorOne of 10 pre-defined text sequences
I plan to add a web gui to allow setting of the timezone and definition of the text messages to scroll at some point - Many thanks to Paul Andrews for his assistance with that.

The thing now sits in a case and looks a lot more presentable - I'll get some pictures of that asap. - Richard

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Google Pending Messages

Good question. No, there is no rhyme or reason to it. Recent posts that 
have been sent to Pending look completely, shall I say, bland. They are 
on topic, nothing controversial, nothing that you could construe as 
advertising or in anyway naughty. Dunno.


But the glorification of modern LEDs is something that your could expect 
a stern response from the Moderators on

Any clues to why some messages get flagged as pending, and others 
don't ? This isn't the kind of group that gets into controversial or 
offensive topics, unless perhaps you attempt to glorify modern LEDs.

Hi Y'all

Please be aware that the Google Group system is sending more messages
than it has done recently into Pending instead of straight
through. It
can be 3 or 4 days before the Moderators are notified that there are
Pending messages so some of your posts might not appear very quickly.
