Why do a nixie clock if you can do a nixie display for a 7 1/2 digit multimeter!?

The Chart of Electromagnetic Radiations is copyright 1944 but was first released in 1936. See the story of the chart and Dwight Barr, the man behind it at:

Hey Dave!
Who did you go through to print that electromagnetic spectrum poster?
I'm considering ordering one as a Christmas gift for my brother.

The two signal paths in the GSM repeater are for the Tx and Rx paths, which are 25 MHz apart (off the top of my head). It needs to be a bi-directional repeater to be useful.

+1 - who is your printer? Officeworks does A0 for $33 on 160gsm paper

Hi Dave, your last mailbag item seems to have been from a Finn. The Christmas card "Hyvää Joulua" translates roughly to "Good/Merry Christmas".

For the earth resistance mater: Norma is the brand, I think it is Austrian. They have some really fine instruments. Erdungsmesser is German for Earthing -meter.

I'm voting for the clock. And I'll start the flood of design suggestions off with no microcontrollers please.
use nixie display as part of a multi function rack mounted display unit. use as a movie set backdrop prop in you videos, add or change the racks or
change display drivers. whatever you want, a jumbo multimeter to use as an education tool . display unit in one rack. micro in the next rack.
lots of banana plugs and sockets. or change it to a backdrop prop clock if you need one.

Did I miss the link to the HV Nixie Supply? Does anyone knows where I could buy one? Don't really trust myself designing HV PSUs..

To circumvent the Windows 95 password dialog, just click "Cancel". Or you could have created a new account by entering a new user name.
(Windows 95 had no security; the password is important only to access network servers.)
But I guess the thing has already been taken apart by now …

@EEVBlog
One of the comments on the video had a good idea, I thought:

After researching, it appears within Google's API is the ability to gather one's subscriber count:

Could Dave II have a go, at least?

Ordered a A2 canvas print of it today, will collect the unframed print Friday afternoon. R240 ( around $20) at my local Postnet.

Hey Dave, yes they do still make laptops with the nipple. This is my current machine and I have the trackpad disabled so the nipple is all that can be used. Whenever my friends use it, they get so confused!

Well coincidentally, I was digging around in a flea market and found one of those RF repeaters for £3, they're a cell phone repeater desgined to retransmit signals inside a building and vice-versa.
I thought £3 was pretty good for a box filled with MMICs so I was about to ask a queston in the RF section about it.
Mine has a few gaps filled in and it's also got two power stages:

Beat me to it, I work with current model machines that are still avaialble with the nipple but the most common ones are the Lenovos

Anyone else noticed something weird with the capacitors?
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/blog/eevblog-940-mailbag/?action=dlattach;attach=268780;image)
And Ub on the earth resistance meter is most likely the battery voltage.
-
Hah, yes.
They seem to be correct on mine.
-
Why not build some form of counter with your Nixies connected to your Raspberry Pi project
-

Do you talk about the resistor - capacitors?

Yes, a lot of capacitors are marked Rxx.

That heatsink shown at the end.... probably for those integrated audio amplifier chips that sit upright from the pcb (too katy to look for the case designator).

Hello,
The bodge looking resistor and lifted pin in the PH-meter or conductivity meter is not a bodge !
it's designes so as to avoid current leaks through isolation material. The PCB, IC socket are leaky at the pA level, especially with some contamination

That old Pyle tablet looks a lot like a $40 no name tablet I got at one point, inside and out. (Which I later put to use mining altcoins, just barely paying for itself before the cheap MLC flash gave up...)
That joystick mouse thing is still very common on Lenovo laptops.

Lenovo and Dell laptops.

There is a "little"failure in this chart... It is written that a light year is 9.5x10^17 sec :-DD

Oh dear, yes.

This is why I don't like 2min teardows. These meters seemed simple enough for more details with out it being too much work. But instead it was just "theres some analogy stuff and chips". What was the point? To show a glimpse of a PCB?
