[neonixie-l] Re: Clock for NL-8091
Very nice! I'm working on a unique enclosure for one of Pete's older 8091 clock boards. Won't have it done for a couple months, as slow as I work. If this come out the way I hope it will, I may offer a few for sale.

Yes - I have three sets left. There is the tube board which has the longer pin sockets as opposed to the Harwin Style - I chose those to be less stressful to the tubes. It also has 2 x HV5622 and 4 x MTX-90 for the colons. On the back there is a small board with the 5V power supply and wemos etc. The tube board also holds 2 x HV supply modules. There is one mistake on the board which requires a single track to be cut and two short links to be made once the components are loaded (so the ends of the links can be soldered directly to the ends of SMD resistors etc) I am able to supply full kits if at all interested. - Richard On Sunday, 20 March 2022 at 13:34:10 UTC Bill Notfaded wrote: > Also I love what Ian has done and have a few of his clocks! > > Bill > > On Sunday, March 20, 2022 at 6:32:02 AM UTC-7 Bill Notfaded wrote: > >> Also BTW I'm big fan of OSS so I love to see open source software and >> hardware..

Richard- Yes mine is the PV Electronics board. At one point of the build it says to test the voltage and I wasn't getting what the instructions said I should.

[neonixie-l] Re: Clock for NL-8091
Thank you . I believe that might be the Remote System from PV Electronics - I have used that elsewhere but for this I wanted to make a compact unit with all the WiFi, Web Gui, underlighting and other features from the Open Source 'Prism' design by Ian Sparkes. I am pleased with the result, yesterday I made a simple acrylic case for it - because it is going to take me an age to get anything more interesting together - I'll post a picture of it when completed - an injustice the the tubes I know - but better than a bare board sat on my shelf ticking away! I have a couple of PV Remote Systems lined up to populate old Australian Valve Tested units that I acquired - yet another project waiting in the wings! What issues did you have with the main board for the Remote System? I had a couple of the early ones and had to replace the LM2596-5 on both boards. Apart from that - rock solid. - Richard On Saturday, 19 March 2022 at 12:18:29 UTC Bill Notfaded wrote: > Nice clock Richard. I too have collected these tubes. I've been sitting > on my stock.

Nice clock Richard. I too have collected these tubes. I've been sitting on my stock. I know Nick made a clock with these too fairly recently. I bought the kit he used and also ordered the dekatron side board for it. I ran into some issues with the main board and put project on the back burner. I suppose I should dig it out again to troubleshoot some that looks great Richard!
