Millclock Nixie Tubes

[Leroy Jones]

Has anyone on here had any luck with the Millclock tubes?

 Does anyone on here know anything about them?

I ask because I have been in contact with Millclock for the past few days attempting

to get all of engineering data on these tubes.   But so far they don't seem to even understand anything about providing full dimensional drawings, base pinout,

full electrical characteristics, etc.

I expect any reputable tube manufacturer to be fully forthcoming with

all engineering data for their product.

Just have a look at any of the old Burroughs or National nixie tube data sheets

and catalogs.   They tell you everything you need to know.

So far Millclock is getting on my nerves being secretive and holding back.

What are they trying to hide?   At $100 per tube, are you kidding me?

Thanks,   Chuck

Hi,

I own ZIN-70 and ZIN-18 tubes. According to the information I received from Millclock, both should be current-limited like their older counterparts, such as the Z568M and IN-18.

Hi Adam,

So how long have you had these tubes and been using them?

How are they working out?   Tell us about them.

Currently, they are sitting in a box, waiting for their turn :(

I used a character tube from Millclock, but at the moment it’s awaiting repair due to damage to PCF8575 chip that was controlling it.

Apart from these symbols/icons, there are also a bell, the degrees °C and °F, as well as the word "subscribe".

Millclock manufactured these tubes at my request.

What, no capital K? That's the thermometer I want.

My clock is running like 2 years without any issue. Best tubes.
