Welcome to the forum Nick!

Hello again!

Nice nixie clock you have there in the background - always good to see! Is it your own design? They look like ZM1040s but its difficult to tell from this angle.

I run/own the neonixie-l group on Google Groups - if anyone here wants nixies to play with or as replacements in certain tuners etc., I have literally many many 1000s of almost all types.

Oh dear I should have obliterated the nixie clock from view - it's the Mike Harrison one ('Mike's Electric Stuff') - the one without an isolating transformer! (We exchange e-mails about it back in May 2010, and the wisdom of using a couple of back to back transformers as a safety feature). I made it several years ago. I was given the tubes NIB - they're marked RS Made in the UK' (that's novel!) and their ID is 58633A. (I later got some clear XN3 ones for 50p each).

I'm fascinated by Nixies - back in 1976 I built a 200 MHz digital frequency counter using five of them, details of which are posted on the forum in the 'Homebrew' section.

By the way given that you're new to the forum Nick, don't worry about drifiting off topic - it's a very relaxed and friendly forum - you won't get a moderator swooping down on you from the sky like an avenging angel for posting in the wrong place or getting too chatty
