How many people have actually experienced (first-hand) the IN-3
flicker, while the IN-3's were connected in correct polarity?

I aged about 100 of these neons last year, with a view batching them
to making a ring counter clock. There was a small proportion that
flickered right out of the box. Maybe three or four from the 100. A
few more would jitter occasionally. Another couple were plain dead
on arrival, from a sealed box.
I noticed quite a degree of blackening of the glass after a very
short time, when compared to unlit ones ( I bought two boxes of 100).
I am sure I was not over-driving them.
I still haven't made the ring counter clock. Oh well... so many
ideas, so many unfinished projects.
