..... If you want drop protection how about making a brass wire 'roll bar cage' for each piece?. Now Tony! Great Idea - :idea: That would be a very cool look! Brass, Copper, Stainless, Silver, or any type of metal wire 'roll cage' would bump the Geek Cool Meter WAY UP! The steam punky 'roll cage' c...

---- Coating the Nixie Tube with Clear Acrylic ???

Do the tubes get very warm? Probably not since we play with them...

I was thinking to spray several coats of a clear Acrylic or other to protect the tubes in case they get dropped. Do you think this would work?

Thank you.

Yes, to test your coils would be the way to go - But, I did loose your one board coil amongst a number of others. A helper - helped.

Thanks for the 'duh' reminder. I do have the pcb coil to check.

Tony or someone who has tested.
What are good uH values for a board and pcb coils, respectively?

I bought a inductance (coil) testor kit and now would like to get all my coils set to a set value.

Thanks!

Wanting verification of inserting the bulb into the pcb base.

The two wider spaced bulb pins plug into the pcb holes where the two coil ends are soldered?

Thanks Tony for the board build and part difference insights. Yes, I see now that you have carved out a number of time intensive sets that it is time to go time, cost and materials efficient. @...Ed Sorry, I didn't mean to alarm you about selling. I just was trying to give a compliment based on my p...

******************************** Tony **************** @Tony - Questions about my Display PCBs: In the kit I have: I do have 33x pcb boards - 26 are copper colored, 7 are silver colored. * Why are 8 pcb boards slightly larger in diameter than the others (1 is copper colored and 7 are silver colored....

Ha, Ha, Tony said, "...crap..."

So, we paid for and got a lot of "crap" solder in our kits and need to replace with some good stuff. LOL.....

He's so Fun-E....

It's a good thing I've got a couple of rolls of Silver soldier after doing some Arduino SMD play.

So - upgraded shop toys, er, tools. Lots of shiny toys, er, hardware. An awesome new chess toy, er, set. You'd better be publishing pictures of this $2500.00 chess set in the playing - building.
