Hi all,
Unfortunately no further info here.
A guess is it a kind of cathode poisoning??
Did you already contact the TCA [ tubecollecto...@groups.io ]. They are based in the USA, so the chance is greater there is info to find.
I have the same problem with a rare Pressler N3 dekatron. Anybody her who can help me on data and applications?
The Pressler N3 is a WW-II tube with a 8 pin ‘German Stahlrohren’ base.
I have no data and therefore no clue how to drive the tube.
Trying to light up the tube with a blue-ray machine did not work
Cheers,
Eric

Hi Martin,
No, I was not aware, despite Giorgio is a friend of me….
Thanks for your tip and experience

However, if I understand Paolo's post, he's using Mike Moorrees's circuit (https://threeneurons.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/we6167ckt.gif) which leaves the auxiliary anode disconnected. When I ran 6167s in this configuration they were generally much more reliable in not sticking on K10, though I was using rather different circuit conditions:
- Va = +400V with respect to main cathodes
- Transfer pulses 60V amplitude from a resting bias +30V with respect to main cathodes
- Anode current 1.3mA
Paolo, can you confirm you have indeed left pin 5 unconnected?
