I'm thinking someone here may have one of these VFDClock power supplies they could sell me.  I've built many single digit clocks over the last several years using this power supply.  I have a PWBA designed for Dalibors tube , and I'd like to assemble it as a Christmas gift this year.  I'd rather not redesign the board for a different supply.  Does anyone have one of these VFDClock power supplies you be willing to sell?

I don’t have the Nixie power supply from VFD; however, buying one on fleabay will cost you $10 + $7 shipping.  It will simply take about 2 months to get it.

 

I would suggest, if you can’t find someone, you pay a little more to get a more powerful one and have it in days.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/172818490547

I do realize you would lose the option for EN and that you will have to make a perf daughter board to convert to your single tube clock board.

Michail,

Thank you for recommending our NCH8200HV module ;) 

Richard, 
If you do want to pull the trigger, buy from our site will save you sales tax as long as you don't live in CA.

Also, the SHUTDOWN pin can be "hacked" following the figure below.

Just cut the trace marked by the dotted line, and then solder a fly wire to that pin (#10 marked SHDN in the figure). Pulling it HIGH will turn on the HV 170V output, and GND will disable the output.

Hope this helps.
