... Hi Thomas, I'd like some but they will have to work on 120v since I'm in "inchland". What did you say the cost might be? Thanks for doing the footwork to...
Hi Chris They are 3VA types: 32 x 38 mm PCB mounted. 115/230 V AC input, two vindings 50 / 60 Hz 160 V AC out 10mA 10 V AC out 40mA They can be overloaded...
After Gary Bleads pointed me to this group, I joined it. I have just completed my own version of his nixie clock, based on PIC16F84 microcontroller and 6x...
What about in cases where the lead in wires start glowing pretty brightly before the digit does? Should I just let it run like that for a bit? I've found that...
Had this problem too and I reckon its worth a try. My cure is to let them run with 50% PWM at 500Hz drive with about twice as much current as normal. These...
Been watching lots of auctions for pinball displays, in fact, try a search for 'pinball spares' in google or altavista and you'll be surprised how cheap some...
Well, I finally dug out two old "corpses" from storage. These are original Four Letter Word makers from 1973. They use a Stancor transformer (6.3v and 250vct)...
... The first lot of 20 is allready allocated, sorry, I will be happy to write you on a new list for the next lot. if that is allright with you ?? Then when I...
Hi, I built a nixie clock following the basic design on Mikes page execept I inserted a 120 to 12 volt transformer, a 5 volt regulator to power the locic, and...
... Well, how much faster is it? In one hour of real time how many minutes does your clock show have elapsed? Is it consistent, each hour or other unit of...

... (bad manners to reply to my own mail, but I just had a silly thought) - you didn't leave it set to work at 50Hz by any chance? Does it gain 12 minutes an...

... In mail list terminology, posting means sending it as a message. In this case I think it implies an attachment. The schematic may be in error, so placing...
I don't have the answers to just how much too fast it is. I really think the problem is how I pick off the 60Hz. The divider logic works great stepping it...
... Hmm, rather depends on your software... My preference would be to put ephemera like this on a personal web-page and include a pointer to it in the mail (I...
I have just seen the schematic just uploaded as pulse.jpg I asume that all your stuff share the same powersupply ground. Remove the 470 K resistor to ground !!...
Since you are taking the pulse signal from the low voltage part, you dont have so much voltage to filter from, so you must also experiment with your 470 K...
