IN-12 Nixie Clock Kit Build (from eBay) - Part 5
In this series of videos join me as I assemble an IN-12 Nixie clock kit purchased
from eBay. It represents excellent value for money and produces a great looking end result for around £55. The only part not supplied is a USB power supply but any will do the job.
In Part 5 we complete the build and take a look at the end result.

    Hi, Interesting stuff you do... I am a bit like this but.. I have a 24 year old Denon D-UTF88 system in mint condition, but I think I have inadvertently damaged the system inter-connect function. This probably whilst trying to replug it to make all the units respond to the handset.. The cables are 3.5mm stereo-like connectors which allow the handset, via the main amp, to control the tuner, CD and cassette. This no longer works, it did!, so suspect it may be blown transistors on the outputs. I have the full Circuit diagrams for each part, and there appear to be a NPN/PNP pair, plus one, on the outputs.. Do you have any knowledge of this as to what the fault may be. I am tempted to try a repair but dont want to proceed without some idea of what it is.. In all other ways the system is working fine, well, aster replacing both the CD and cassette rubber drive belts which had 'relaxed' too much! Cheers Paddy

    I still have one working [stereo unit similar to this], that I built in the same casing, but mounted the two modules at the back - with larger heatsinks being able to dissipate heat externally.... I went the extra-mile and supplied each amp with its own separate supply - two mono blocks, in effect. This increases the bass response and punch, and to be honest puts to shame some of today's amplifiers that claim to be '500 Watts' or more 😀

So clearly not getting passed the very first few inches of circuit from the AC cord. I checked for broken solder joints and even the first relay, the two fuses. So frustrated.

  • @robertneill3057
    @robertneill3057 Před 2 lety

    Maplin Electronics eventually sold upgraded Mosfet transistors with a higher voltage rating topping out at 140v to 160v breakdown voltage. Also sold a bridging module with a speaker protection and a claimed 400W output. Projects by them peaked in the late 1980's to early 1990's pre MPS era and the rise of Velleman and Quasar Electronics.

    • @davidareader
      @davidareader Před rokem

      MPS was just an (ultimately doomed) attempt at a trade offering to go up against RS & Farnell. It was the terms of the investment Maplin took in the early 90's that was the beginning of the end. We'd previously had a lot of freedom to manage our own stock levels - but the edict came down that we were no-longer allowed to - that the value of inventory had to be reduced. The stock levels of many items no-longer made sense. We lost regular customers who understandably didn't react well to being told that if they wanted to buy speakers in pairs, or cabinet feet in fours, and so on, they'd have to pre-order them in or get them mail-order.

    @DanBurgaud Před 2 lety

    15:00 There are diodes parallel to mosfets 1 and 2, oriented up or pointing up (or whatever the term used). To transfer charge from V1 to V2 (ie, V1 > V2) MOS1 is turned on, it draws current away from V1 and into the inductor and into V2. Then MOS1 is turned off, the voltage at Vb drops to a low point such that the diode across mos2 will complete the circuit and charge V2. Buck charging. To transfer charge from V2 to V1 (ie V2 > V1) Mos2 is turned on. It draws current away from V2 and into the inductor and into V1. Then Mos2 is turned off, the voltage at Vb spikes up to a high point such that the diode across mos1 will complete the circuit and charge V1. Boost Charging. Rinse repeat using PWM to regulate the amp. The problem with this balancing is: It transfers charges between adjacent cells; it cannot transfer cells from C1 into C3 directly. And if you have 20 cells, you will have to ripple the charge across all cells. There is another inductor balancer using Transformer, which I believe is more superior than this Buck/Boost as it can balance on multiple cells and into multiple cells.

    Is this amp design based off the old Hitachi L MOSFET design? I found schematics of the Hitachi design. I've contemplated building that amp since I have the l mosfets.

It worked in the morning, but after a faulty toaster caused the Residual Current Circuit Breaker to cut the power at lunchtime, the receiver din't work in the evening - I guess these to events could be linked. The unit does not start up at all. No lights/display, no sound and no startup-buzz. Totally dead - but the fuse is ok! Any ideas how to go forward? Or is it fried?

    A couple issues... Cells have very low internal resistance. You cannot simulate them with resistor and a cap in parallel. The other one is that a power supply cannot sink current and I have plown up many big ones. Then I learned to use a diode in series. The I used anther diode to dump power to simulate the sink current. Since you sounded very enthusiastic and experienced, can you please tell me if you can do the same thing using a processor and Analog to digital converters?
