A project within a project - In this video I show the process of converting a few vintage Soviet Nixie display modules to make a 3-digit BCD controlled counter for my upcoming live Fran-o-Thon on October 20th. Enjoy!

Nixies are cool
Hello I Fran love your videos do you mind telling me were you buy your solder and flux and the type thank you very much .
you're so clever
Did you test all 1000 numbers?
And well known red capacitors. We used to cut off little pieces from them to adjust the capacity when needed. I know that it sounds wierd but it works)
Is it OK to leave a comment just to tell the algorithm I'm engaging with a Fran video so it puts her higher up in the priority list? Not that the video in and of itself doesn't deserve a comment, quite the opposite, but I don't quite have anything more specific to say about it other than, "Cool!". Well, maybe also "You go, Fran!" and "Can't wait for the next one from my favorite tinkerer!" too.

Thanks for sharing. 😉👋🏻
A small gift for you Fran. You’re always appreciated 🇬🇧-from the United Kingdom 😊
Hi Fran, good video by the way, have you ever seen a rotating disc projection display? Light from lamp >> lens >> metallic stencil >> lens >> translucent glass.
Yeah i do twisted pair wires the same way
Are all the edge connector pins used? if not, could you have routed the BCD to unused pins instead of using the ribbon cable?
That silicone tape, tip makes watching the video well worth it. I didn't know it existed.
automatic strippers really are game changing
I thought the Western driver IC was a clone of the Soviet one
