Re: [neonixie-l] IN-18 resurrection

[Gene Segal]

Nixie Gang,

Is there anybody interested in bringing their IN-18's back from the dead?  Specifically, those of you who have suffered broken "pupiks" (glass bibs or pips between the pins).  I am not an expert, but was thinking that those could be refilled and sealed.  If we get a decent number of these casualties together, then perhaps it would be interesting to some expert neon glass guy to refill them.  So the question is - how many of these could we get together in one location, in order to approach an expert.  I can get us started with about 20.

Perhaps we could devise a voucher system, so that everyone sends their dead guys to one person, then an estimate is obtained for the lot, and everybody pitches in their share.  These would be only for private use, since longevity would probably suffer...but it might be worth it for some to pay $20 per tube, for example, to have a backup. Thoughts?

Gene
