Well I just won http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220248110151 so now I need a power supply to run it. I did find one for $35 buy it now +11.50 shipping or $9.99 if no one bids on it for the next six days. So if someone has one that is about $35-$40 for sale that would be wonderful. I have an altered computer supply that I can power it with so I have 6VDC and 12VDC connections to power it. If someone has an AC full unit too that would be great if you can offer me a good price. If no one has one or knows of somewhere to get one at a good price let me know.

P.S. I already know you can build your own but that will be the next step. ;)


Thanks in advance!

Rhith ! Good to see you around more often now :) Check out the link I posted in the deals section for the keyed power supply for the HeNe's...I am sure you can adapt that to your uses ! The one thing to remember, is that you need a resistor of some sort (cannot recall exactly) between the tube and the power supply, or POP goes the HeNe ! :(

**the enclosed tubes already incorporate that resistor...BALLAST RESISTOR ! There it is ! WOO ! Okay, anyways, the Ballast Resistor is already installed in the enclosed tubes....

This will do it. You will need a 12V power source to drive it, but they are cheap (you may already have one).

Peace,

That's the one I was actually looking at. Do you guys think it would be worth paying for the buy it now price? I don't want to miss out on it....

And SenKat, what type of resistor setup would you need? Help! :D

Ah and it looks like that PSU has one on it already. But making sense of those wires is confusing. :o

I have some power supplies that will work, 5V in 1.8KV out should be good for tubes up to 9 inches of arc length. $35 delivered or bid in my ebay auction. Pin out is supplied, need only 5V yes a resistor is included.

RHITH - buy this one ! :) I don't know enough about the needed resistors - I got rid of all my bare tube units, and spare power supplies...I think that last one I had was from one of Heruursciences' grab bags he sells :D Chris will treat you right for certain !

Plus that - you sold me my very first HeNe ! You had the power supply wired up to an HP Printer brick - very solid work :)
