thanks for the reply..
I have these specs.. for the potential Nixie Tubes Id be interested in using:
NIXIE IN-8:
*rated voltage- 170-180VDC
*33k series resistor
*rated current- 2.5m-3.0mA
*tube height: 50mm / 1.9685 inches
*tube width: 17mm / 0.6692 inches
NIXIE IN-8-2:
*rated voltage- 170-180VDC
*33k series resistor
*rated current- 2.5-3.0mA for digits, 0.3-0.4mA for the decimal point.
*tube height: 50mm / 1.9685 inches?? <-- DOUBLE CHECK HEIGHT
*tube width: 19mm / 0.7480 inches
NIXIE IN-14: (2 & 5 share same electrode?)
*rated voltage- 170-180VDC
*33k series resistor
*rated current- 2.5mA
*tube height: 54.5mm / 2.1456 inches
*tube width: 19mm / 0.7480 inches
NIXIE IN-16: (smaller sized)
*rated voltage- 170-180VDC
*47k series resistor
*rated current- 1.5mA
*tube height: 45mm / 1.7716 inches
*tube width: 13mm / 0.5118 inches
found here: Sphere's Nixie Tube Page - Nixie Tubes for Sale! Nixies from all over the world!
they also mention the series resistor? (whats difference from a regular resistor?)
Im assuming that data is also published using their power booster/supplies they sell.
which is the same as this one:

it also says that its adjustable..(just not clear on how exactly)..
Im going to try and use a barrel jack..so the end project can just have a 'port' so someone can use a 12v wallwart...etc..
(which is sorta why the first power supply looked good to me)
which has 180v output pads:

but then also goes on to mention this in the description:
OUTPUT VOLTAGE : 115 -235V DC
