It may well be correct for the first parts he had, assuming that the tubes in the listing's banner image are wired normally. But as you point out, it certainly isn't correct for the ones he's actually selling. Since the only picture he has that shows the display lit is the one from the unit I sent to VTA, I doubt he's ever tried to light one himself. On the other hand, I think he may now be aware that there's something fishy with these units - his current listings have these listed for $11 less than the 7-segment version (qty 1 - the qty 6 price per piece difference is even greater, at $16+), whereas he used to have them listed for a much higher price than the 7-segment ones. > I have no strong opinion or even interest as to their origin, but they > are date stamped in Russian with an April 1998 date. Do yours have the device part number stamped on the tube, or just the date code (in the usual Reflector purple rubber stamp style), and a paper label with the part number and original date code? For reference, take a look at the photograph on the bottom of the VTA page: http://www.decadecounter.com/vta/articleview.php?item=1033 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
