Hi All,
Just recently I have stumbled across Nixie Tube Clocks http://www.jogis-roehrenbude.de/Leserbriefe/Nixie-Clock/nixie-clock.htm and **broken link removed**
and now I want to build one or two. Unfortunately these "old" tubes need 170 - 180vdc @2 -3ma to run. I have looked and looked for a power supply that willl not cost an arm and a leg but have not found one yet.
It was mentioned to me You can also use 2 12vac transformers connected back to back. Connect the 12 volt secondaries together. What about caps and diodes? I am an EE dummy but can read, use to draw schematics and design PCB's for a living.
Would someone please point me in the right direction to a site or show me how to do it, I'm sure it's easy
TIA
