I feel you there, on my early quest for spelling Ecaterina I have encountered the same problem for T and R, now I have a rather large variety of tubes that could spell my daughters name. Please contact me privately and we will see what can we do for your project @Bogdan - I wasn't able to find anything about the NL-1317. That's a very useful tube because it has hard-to-find letters 'T' and 'R' . I'm going to keep searching. On Saturday, March 21, 2026 at 1:34:17 PM UTC-7 bogdan paduraru wrote:
@ Greg NL-1317 has the Q also A,B,G,H,J,P,R,S,T ( NL-5018 style) I have other 2 models that have the Q , but they are not top view IN-15 tubes came in very handy for a current project, which I wont name here, because it has some other wise hard-to-find letters. Instead of the usual numerals, which are mostly only usable for clock, this has pluggable tubes that display letters. I now have everything except Q. Arguably, 'L' is sloppy because my only option is to use a '1' for 'I' and 'L', but being able to have 25 of 26 letters allows a lot of words.

I find the IN15 nixies very useful and have already used them in two projects that I otherwise wouldn't have been able to build. But of course, not at this price...

You got it. You can get IN-12s for less. Perhaps the first of April came early.
I found it amusing to swap an IN-15 A or B into a Chinese single digit IN-12 clock and watch it cycle through the symbols as it counts seconds. That is about the only thing I could find them useful for. Granted with an IN-15A you can spell words made up of the letters M, P, k, m, n and "u" (mu) and with the IN-15B the letters A, F, H, P, V and W (reminds me of the end of Wheel of Fortune when you chose a bunch of letters and have no idea what the phrase is for the grand prize).
I like the way you think. 8D
Now watch some idiot buy it. It’s a good thing the seller is in the US otherwise you’d have to add the tariff.
