Has anyone tried the EMCO AG series of HV modules in a nixie clock yet?

Terry,

Those modules do not put out enough power for a nixie clock. 7.5 mA at 200V is
enough to run three tubes at most.

They might work in a watch, but you'd need a 4.5V battery to strike the tubes.
Li-poly is <4V.

Hi David,

Yeah, I'm aware that it wouldn't work in a direct drive clock, seems like it might in a mux'd clock. Or maybe use a pair of them... Just wondered if anyone has experience with them. I've requested samples. No pricing info yet.
