    The success story of a Nixie Tube

    The success story of Making a Nixie Tube, Let me think we can't keep on repairing the more and more hard to fix items, We need innovation and manufacture products because Maintenance will never get you rich.

    The nixie tube is a vintage display device which had been used until 70s when it was replaced with LED displays. The complex knowledge of manufacture of nixie tubes literally died with tube factory's engineers, glassblowers and machine operators.
    I discovered nixie tubes in 2011 and since then, I've devoted all my time to studies of nixie tubes and its manufacturing processes. After years of intensive work, with help of many people, I eventually succeeded and have revived the knowledge and equipment for production of nixie tubes. Dalibor Farny

        B&K 707 tube tester. I need help.
        by DCJack
        Hi everyone!

        I managed to get my hands on a rough condition B&K 707 for "the best price" because it was not working. It's my first tube tester and I'm really wanting to get it up and running. I downloaded that manual that has the schematics and tested every resistor and capacitor and replaced the ones that failed. I replaced the missing 83 rectifier tube with a used but tested-good one. I also have a number 80 rectifier tube that I have used in tests before I found the 83 tube.

        Initially I noticed that I was not getting the red on-light to turn on, but it...

        Fatman iTube (aka Dared MP-5) tube-buffered gainclone upgrades
        by linuxguru
        The Fatman iTube (OEM Dared, which also sold its own-branded version, the Dared MP-5) is a tube-buffered gainclone first introduced c.2005, to target the iPod market with a bookshelf tube setup. It became a huge success over the next ~15 years, selling over ~100k units worldwide to a market where it was often their first introduction to vacuum-tube audio on a budget.

        http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazin.../dared_mp5.htm

        One of the Fatman versions landed up for auditioning a few days ago, and I must say that I was impressed with its form-factor, pricing,...

        "First Experience" with a CFL BL Samsung TV
        by edugimeno
        Hi There!
        I just wanted to share experiences trying to fix for the first time a CFL backlight Tv. It is samsung LE32A336J1N

        The issue it was showing was: As soon as I turned it on, the BL would turn on/off for 2-4 times and them off definitely

        I suspected the BL voltage generator or the LED strips, at least until I opened it up, cause I had never seen these TV's

        When I opened it I found a very robust TV with a complex chassis formed by mutiple arms tied together with screws. There was a large PS board with several transformers for backlight,...

        ECH81/6AJ8 Vacuum Tube Question
        by Schoenradt
        Recently I acquired an Eico HFT 92 AM/FM radio made back in 1958. The unit has had some decent modifications done such as replacing the rectifier tube with silicon diodes and replacing the main filter capacitor with electrolytic capacitors. When I powered it up FM wouldn't tune past 105Mhz. I checked the FM tuner front end assembly and found a capacitor not soldered to the coil from the Plate B+ to and ground on the other side of the coil. Some calibration was needed on the trimmer capacitor on the tuner. My question is AM is extremely weak. When I tap on the tube I get all kinds of snapping and...
