2-1/2 Digit Nixie Thermometer Kit - Includes: PCB, Parts, and 2 NOS/NIB ZM1000 Nixie Tubes

BEFORE YOU BUY ... PLEASE !!!! PLEASE !!!!    READ THE INSTRUCTION LINK  > It contains a section of what is NOT INCLUDED ! (AS IN NOT, or YOU WON'T FIND IT IN THE BAG)  PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU BUY !

In kit form,  you get a circuit that is a 2.5 digit nixie Thermometer, plus has additional IN-13 Bargraph drive circuitry. Regulated 12VDC is the preferred input voltage (Center Positive 2.1mm ID). Up to 14VDC acceptable. The current draw is under 200mA, but 500 mA is the absolute minimum recommended. 1 amp, or larger wallcube is fine. The circuit draws what it needs. A 5.5mm OD x 2.1mm ID power jack is provided, so wallcubes can be used.

This is the initial released, October 26, 2016. The number is NT2ZA. The "Z" suffix designates that it fits ZM1000 nixie tubes. "A" Designates some minor design and part upgrades. Two tubes are INCLUDED in the kit. The  instruction page,  will be used for all later versions, so pay attention to the suffix at later dates.

An HV switching supply is needed to generate the 170V, to power the nixies. This connector J5 accommodates my supplies, which are also sold at my eBay Store. Look for the kit, NK01B. Some form of 170V generation is needed. Either a supply, like my NK01B, or some other means to provide 170V, which can deliver at least 10mA. The NK01B is NOT included, and may be purchased separately, or another similar source used.

Here's a link to all the instructions you need to build this kit, once you receive it:  NT2ZA Thermometer Kit.

Nixie tubes are included in this "Z" version of the kit. The buyer, however, must get the optional IN-13 Bargraph tube.  The Buyer must also, separately, get the 12VDC wallcube and 170V HV supply.

Here's a video of the thermometer running.

Full kit with parts - no cuts required !

It's a "KIT" !!! That means you get a bare board, and parts. You must solder it together ! That's what KIT means !

What comes with the kit mounts on that one, and only red rectangular board. SEE the  instructions !!! PLEASE - Review the instructions carefully, before you buy, to see if this is the right kit for you !!!

If postage looks high, place the items in the eBay "Cart", and request an invoice from me. The shipping calculator, is usually not accurate on multiple items.

Items shipped to your eBay registered address (not Paypal's). Contact me using eBay's messaging system. I DO NOT read my email. Its used only as the Paypal payment link.

Domestic shipments automatically have "Delivery Confirmation", which essentially is a tracking method. International shipments will only have their "Customs Declaration" number listed, unless the foreign buyer chooses "Registered Mail". With "Registered Mail", the package can be tracked. "Registered Mail", will incur and additional $12.00 US to the total cost. If you want this option please contact me and wait to be invoiced. If you just pay for it (without being invoiced), the item will be shipped without tracking. eBay only required that I (the seller) prove that I shipped it. A "Customs Declaration" will satisfy that requirement. Its your nickel. From NOW ON, if its lost and you DID NOT pay for registered mail, then THAT'S IT !

There has been a history of delayed packages to some European Union countries. Actually, only Germany. Parcels to Germany will now have a "Packing List Envelope" adhered to the outside, to appease German Customs. If you are in Germany, your package can be held up in Customs for up to 6 weeks !

I will not refund shipping, and you must cover the cost of the return. Please, DO NOT open the pink antistatic bags, if you think about returning it. Once the antistatic bags are open, I must assume the semiconductors are damaged, and I can not reuse them. I will not sell them to another customer. There are sellers on eBay, with ethics !

Please do not ask me for expedited shipping. I usually ship the day following the order, but I may not make it to the post office, due to other commitments. I won't make promises that I can't guarantee.

Please pay or contact me about payment within three days after the end of the auction. Paypal preferred. Domestic buyers contact for other payment methods. Paypal ONLY from foreign buyers. If you are sending your payment thru the mail, please email me that you are doing so. I have recently cancelled my mental telepathy services, so I can no longer read your minds.
