The main use originally was in Ultronics Lectrascan stock ticker displays... Not much out there any more about these, but here is a photo of one module. I have about 10 "units" (2 tubes per unit) - these turn up from time to time on eBay and elsewhere - mine came from Proops (surplus shop) in Tottenham Court Road in London in the 1970s - ISTR paying about GBP 2 per unit (including tubes - a reasonable sum in those days). My first 7971s, before the bulk supplies became available. I'm sure someone here said in the past they had a whole frame of these, just like the photo: http://www.ineedcaffeine.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/lectrascan-front.jpg Nick -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
