ow... my apologies, those are 100µF caps... edited.
Sorry

I've heard that those small polyester caps are worse then the bigger ones. (100µF as well)

I'd bet they are 100nF...

*goes into shame*

GODD*****!!!

yeah ofcourse, hummmmmm....
nano= 10^-9
micro=10^-6

Now I am really ashamed... but do believe me when I tell you I wasn't really thinking. I follow math so I know those things, or should know them

.... sigh sorry

Never got around to posting pictures of my whole setup:

^^ nixie clock??

 

[oneplustwo]

A buddy of mine has one of those clocks! He bought his though... DIY is much cooler!

dude500 - is all your casework totally custom with stainless sheet? Is that something you can do without a break or do you have access to one?

 

[dude_500]

The clock was a fun project, I designed it using 6 steps of cascading 4017 chips. Still need to get around to putting a crystal in though because right now it's on a pot adjusted 555 which is nearly impossible to get a good speed on.

Cases are just aluminum enclosures made by Hammond that I got from Antique Electronic Supply. They work great for tube amps since they are a good thin form at 2".

the clock is powerline powered, right? you have 60hz that 'works great' right there.

short term its not good but long term, its excellent. no reason not to run a clock off the local 60hz.

I *HAVE* to have a nixie clock

people tend to have that reaction when people first see lol

Raven variant...

Lundahl iron, Mundorf, Obbligato and Russian K75-10 caps, 6bw4 rectifier, 6n23-ev inputs, 6h30-DR output tubes.

Waiting for the hd800. Final QC, then fire it up this weekend. I would make the case smaller, but I might yet add an e12 circuit.

 

[dude_500]

Since people seem interested in the clock here are some picts of that

60hz powerline clocking is a possible solution that I also considered, I'm not sure how reliable the clocking is on the mains here though. I read in other countries it's based on an atomic clock for longterm but I couldn't find anything about the US 60hz base

4-channel beta22 with an Opus on top

Didn"t build this one but I want one.1 of a kind Stereo Jukebox!

My friend has a set of MK2s. I thought they were dj equipment... Didn't know they're appreciated by audiophiles.
