Well, I finished the project but unfortunatly the clock is not working.
Now I will start searching for the solution. The desire I have is to throw it in the trash, but I had so much work and it was done so carefully that I will not give up so easily.
I will use only 9V as power supply, the circuit has two options. So I decided to use a jump, not a switch. One problem could be here, but according the circuit it is correct.

Project JCN-9K: Arrived
The kit I bought on Ebay arrived. I built the kit in one day. Very easy and beautiful, just the case is boring, but as soon as possible I will change it.
The pieces:
Tubes:
PCB:
Soldering the components:
And the final test:
It`s Alive!!!!!!!

PRIME: Top Screen
Same process to print the top cover:
And checking the circuit, continuity.
Only one problem found, a miracle!!!! Using soldering the problem was fixed:

PRIME: New PCB
Well, after
several problems trying to print the circuit using normal paper and photo
paper, I decided to use a transparency paper. I found one step-by-step on the
internet showing how to use this method. Print the circuit on a transparency
paper and using a hot iron the circuit pass to the PCB.
Perfect!!!
Here my tip to hold the PCB to corrode: wine cork

PRIME: PCB
I am having several
problems with my PCB. As the original project the lines are so small and are
close each other, the corrosion process kills 2 PCB. Doing the continuity test
I found several circuits interrupted. One solution is use soldering to fill the
blanks, but as the lines are so close, another problem appeared… short-circuit! As
I said, 2 PCB lost.
PRIME, JCN-9K and SPITFIRE
As I am conducting 3 projects in parallel, I will give names for each
one as follow:
-
Project PRIME: The 6 digit
clock, based on Andrea’s Instructables DIY.
-
Project JCN-9K: Single
digit clock
-
Project Spitfire: Nixie kit
from England
