Hey all,
Was rumbling through bins of old stuff from a local estate sale and found about some old (looks like mil) hardware with lots of Nixie tubes attached. Asked the owner, and they "just inherited the junk", take it if you want... I did. I netted about 19 tubes, but have no idea how to test the "bad" ones.
So how easy is it to build a clock or something without frying myself in the process? I know they require pretty high voltage... Maybe there is a good design for a tube tester, but have not found on the net?
Some research shows I can get new ones from Russia.
Cheers,
Fred
