NixiChron problem

[Nicholas Manuel]

Hello group, yet another Nicholas here lol! 

Long time nixie tube enthusiast, first post! i bought a NixiChron directly from Jeff Thomas almost 20 years ago. It ran problem-free for over 15 years, with just 1 or 2 tube replacements. Then about 1 year ago, lightning struck a tree near my house, and i lost several electrical devices (router, a land line phone, a water cooling dispenser, etc ...), and unfortunately afterwards, my NixiChron stopped powering up all together.

does anyone here have suggestions about what i might try to resurrect the clock? would changing out the electrical wall wart be a start? is there a specific model or specification wall wart to use for this specific clock?

short that, is there a reputable repair business in the US with nixie experience that could take a look?

it would be a shame to lose completely such a treasure.

i have little to no electrical repair experience, although i have repaired various pieces of audio equipement over the years.

Dalibor Farny actually referred to this group for advice. I own his Puri-6 nixie clock as well ... it's a beauty!

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions!

Nicholas

Nicholas, 

The wall-wart would be a very simple and inexpensive starting point, especially if you aren't inclined to try to diagnose the innards.  I don't think that there is a particular "repair business" that could fix it but there are a number of folks on this forum that have worked with and /or own Jeff's clocks that could help you.  I don't own a NixieChron but I believe that there are lots still running and the hobbiests that own them will probably step up here to offer help and suggestions.  Try the wall-wart first and go from there!
