oooooops.   ya' caught me again.  hp 3466. 

my excuse is........ it has a 12v lead acid battery and is good for jobs in the field.

will be careful to pixelate non nixie units in the future lest you change my name to "7segmentfreq".

am watching an old cop show from the 80's on utube.  its called "the bill".  strange show.  they wear unusual uniforms, drive little clown cars, and never seem to get down to the job of slinging lead.  never saw philly cops behave like this back in the day.

Nothing wrong with 3466,s I have 2 of them very nice units and still glow red like a nixie[emoji16]

From mobile device so predictive text might have struck again [emoji83]

Did some surgery this lunch time. Got the old capacitors out of that D83. Interestingly and in relation to the other day, they were made by Pye!

Also amazing how small caps are now compared to the originals. The 2200u ones are 63v instead of 40v as well as that was a bit tight.

They don't look to bad either, have you done any tests on them to see what they read at all?

bd139:
They're all reading good capacitance-wise. The 330uF one has puked out of its arse a bit and one of the 2200uF ones is reading a whopping 20mA of leakage (compared to uA for the others). Bin!

I might take them outside and stuff them across the mains and see what happens.
