Nixichron woes

[Terry S]

My Jeff Thomas Nixichron has been misbehaving.

It's worked flawlessly for years. Lately (4 mo?) it's had a hard time keeping a GPS lock, so much so that the GPS coordinates would be wrong when displayed. Sometimes just a little, sometimes a lot. Then it would get a lock and seem to work fine for a while. It got progressively worse.

More recently even the time has been wrong, and the colon neon would never show a GPS lock.

All this led me to believe that the GPS puck was failing (I was on my 2nd puck, a GlobalSat BR355S4). So I ordered another and installed it today. Still no joy. It's just counting the minutes and not getting a lock.

Coincidentally, my Jeff Thomas WWVB nixie clock is also unable to get a WWVB time sync as of late.

I need to fix both of these wonderful devices. Any input?

I'd like to get the Nixichron converted to NWTS -- understanding that I'd lose the GPS coordinate display. I know some members here can help me with that and I imagine it's time to make that change. I'm basically clueless as to what's involved.

I don’t know if anyone else was able to do well with his auctions, but, although his nixie supply is gone, he has many other tubes up for grabs.

 

His prices were so cheap that I thought it was a scam for a while until the packages started rolling in.

I tried bidding on one interesting lot but it went for $82...

Hey take that to another thread. No Hijacking.

Audrey,

 

I saw that auction.  Since I never saw that tube before, I decided not to bid on that one.   I did get several of the IV18s and IV-27s (amongst many others as well).
