|  |  | Mullard horizontal view nixie with 13 mm. digits 0-9 (no decimal
    point is provided). It has a wire ended B13D base. The primer cathode (kpr , pin 4) can be used to accelerate the ignition times of cathodes by taking it via an 18 MΩ resistor to a -180 V supply. Cathode currents should be in the range 1.5 mA (for full coverage) to 3.5 mA (average). Peak current should not exceed 12 mA. Photos left © Andy Cowley 2008 |
