It was me asking for the Pete Hand FLW clock documentation... I thought you 
had passed away as well.  Wasn't a bunch of your stuff sold on ebay?  One 
of the sellers sold me a clock with tubes and said they were one of your 
relatives selling your old clocks and tubes???  Geesh I can't spell this 
morning.

Re: [neonixie-l] Japanese Nixie Watch

[Allen]

Pete,
As I recall, part of the thread involved someone wanting documentation of your 
4LW clock. Specifically the instructions for operation.

I looked through what you sent me some years ago, but I don’t have that part of 
the literature either.

I have not built the clock yet. I need to buy 1 more tube. Man those things got 
expensive!

Oh, yes indeed. Reports were greatly exaggerated. Thank you for remembering 
me.

I glance at the digest most days, though I missed the one about my demise. 
I seldom post because I haven't done a nixie device in several years now. 
Retirement has turned out to be an altogether busier place than I 
anticipated and I haven't had time to be a hobbyist for years.

Re: [neonixie-l] Japanese Nixie Watch

[David Forbes]

I have one of their square watches. I also have experience repairing one of
them. It had a very poor quality lead trimming and soldering job on the
tubes.
The square watch has a seriously dim display. You can't see it well at all
in the daytime, even indoors. I suppose the huge power transformer is a fix
for that problem.

I've made half a dozen IN16 clocks. The only one that failed is the 10 
hours '1' cathode on my Altoids tin clock, which has gone open circuit. The 
'0' and the '2' still work, in 24 hour mode.

I had a lot of IN-16's leakusually a couple months after using them.
They'd glow a little brighter then done. Not sure if there was a specific
batch that was more prone to this than others, but they have a reputation
from others I've spoken too...

In what way are IN-16's flaky? Short life span (no mercury?), prone to 
shorts and/or cathode poisoning or what?

I've been thinking of using them but never got around to it.

[neonixie-l] Japanese Nixie Watch

[petehand]

A few years ago I noticed that pretty much all the IN16s appearing on Ebay 
were being bought by a Japanese customer, in lots of 1000. I wondered when 
they would reappear.
