clock-face PCB for other typs of nixie tubes #6

Hi Tony, I would like to know, if the original PCB and schematic files, at least of the clock-face, are available, too, regardless if they are from Kicad, Alttium. Orcad or any other software. I have a lot of conversion possibilities. Background of this question: I have only (since many years) nixie tubes of the type ZM1020/QS30. So I have to adapt the clock-face board. I would save a lot of time, if I could start with the original Schematic and PCB-files. If you want, I can publish the results here. By the way, I searched Internet for many hours for useful concepts for nixie tube clocks. Yours seems to be by far the best for me. Well-established, low cost hardware, precise RTC, controlled by Internet time, and comfortable settings via mobile. No multiplexed tubes and a secure way to handle the high voltage by single transistors. A very professional looking PCB and a compact design -seperate PCBs for controler and display! Nearly perfect for my wishes (beside the wrong nixie tubes :D) I don't know, if this is allowed here: you can send it directly to me eksbl@web.de too.

Here are somec additional information: In the meantime you can get a suitable transformer (for 170V genaration) on Aliexpress Not the one from coilcraft, but a TDK ( DCT15EFD-U44S003). This one is in the recommandation list of LinPartially is the transformer even availabe forear Technologies too! Partially is the transformer even available in single pieces for a reasonable price. BTW my EDA-system is Diptrace! :) Do you have another webside in the meantime instead of idyl.io?
