Hello Nixie Fans!
I've got an old Nutting Associates "Computer Quiz" game (1968, made a
few years before they released Computer Space) that uses Burrough's
B-5540 nixie tubes. The tubes are very dim and I assume they've
outgassed and need to be replaced but I can't find a source or
substitution, despite my best Google efforts.
There are always tons of nixies on eBay, and I have seen a number of
websites dedicated to nixies, but I can't find this part number
referenced anywhere other than my anual: "BURROUGH'S B-5540 NIXIE"
Any suggestions on how to find a substitution for this nixie tube will
be much appreciated.
Thanks!!!
Randy
Randy,
Please post photos of these tubes. If it's not in the Burroughs data sheets,
then it's a special part and will have to be visually matched to a part that
they made a lot of.
The B-5440 is rather common. Is it like that tube?
