The NIXIE Tube, and How To Use Them 

DITTO!!!

Ditto as well! Awesome stuff!

I assumed he was a high school teacher.

orange70383 Yes he does. Makes "EEVblog" look like kindergarten for angry simpletons. The calm, gentle and thorough explanations minus ANY "opinions" or superfluous nonsense, is why Mr Carlson reigns supreme.

Dave is great in being benign about newcomers. Expressive and loudly proclaiming his fun. Mr. Carlson takes it like a stream of happening, a true problem solver for us new comers!!

Yes it's all very clear and to the point. He stays on top of things all the time. Unlike some electronics engineers here on youtube, who is currently enjoying a nice Reagenesque slide into dementia, and is goofing up here and there. : ) Can anyone quess who I'm talking about?

No, no. Dave Jones is sharp as f. Im talking about an elderly American electronics engineer that was in the US millitary. Served in Vietnam. Do you understand now ? He seriouslly has a video out where he wrongly explain how LC circuits works. I informed him polightly that he was wrong and was blocked. Oh what the hell. I'll just say it. It's AllAmericanFiveRadio

I only wish the technology that makes distance learning like this was available when I was a kid. Paul and his teaching methods reminds me a lot of my mentors/elmers I have had along the way though and am glad to of had them when I did.

Thanks for your input Mike...and 9 others.

Thanks Luc!

kippyjohnson Also mine. What a guy!!

Thanks Buddy! Glad you stopped by.

:-) will be waiting on the next one

Thanks Daniel!

I hope your friend understands :^)

You're so welcome!

Thanks for your kind comment!

Thanks Koffi!

Glad you enjoyed Harindu!

Glad you enjoyed!

Your welcome!

Thanks Andre! Glad your enjoying the channel.

Great!

Thanks for your kind comment Alexander!

Thanks for your comment!

Your welcome Dennis!

I agree. If Paul made a Nixie tube kit I'd buy one.

Thanks Bob!

Glad you enjoyed Dave!

Thanks Dave!

Glad your enjoying the channel Elanora!

Thanks Peter!

Thanks John!

I may do a "Bio" some day down the road. I "personally" find electronics much more interesting to talk about :^) Thanks for your kind comment!

Thanks Mike!

All three video's are available under the "show more" Tab, or search my video's list. I have another video in progress right now.

MJJMK Being thorough is a talent that most are lacking.

unlokia Haha thanks for your input bud.

unlokia honestly I went though all the videos on his chanel, but the title of part 2 kind of threw me off

Glad you enjoyed! You should post a video when your done.

yeah, it will probaly take some time but maybe in next winter :D and have to think how I will do that digital clock side. I will probaly post somecind of video then

Sounds like that was a neat project.

Yes it was.I had my own custom electronic engineering company (basically me,myself and I) that went out and contracted anything I could repair or rebuild or design from scratch. There was a 24trk recording studio that had an Ampex 24trk recorder where the recording engineers had to find audible passages on the tape to cue up for overdubs. This was difficult sometimes in a large 2400ft reel of tape and one of them asked me if it was possible to come up with an electronic counter that they could record the footage on their master sheets and then refer to the spot on the tape during overdubs, rather than have to search for the audio track. The long searches cause lots of spill noise because as some may have heard, the sounds tapes make as they are shuttled back and forth to arrive at the right spot at speaker sound levels are not exactly pleasant if you have to do a lot of this. While the nixie tube display was relatively simple to engineer from scratch, the challenge was the addition of the tape footage counter measurement encoder capstan that had to be located on the deck, requiring drilling a hole in the deck at a specific place for the tape roller to contact the tape in an EXACT spot without affecting tape tension or introducing wow and flutter. This spot could not be determined ahead of time..so that was definitely a challenge for me. I had to convince the sound studio that if it didn't work the way it was supposed to work during the trial period, all there would be is a 3/8 hole in the deck that would be covered up with a chrome button, and only I would be out a lot of my time in designing it and installing it. It worked though and they were happy with the results as it made their jobs easier.

Thanks Scott!

Thanks Berni!

Thanks!
