I too have a small, but growing, collection of dead nixies. I've been trying to collect more types as I only have IN-9s and 12s but my goal is to examine dead tubes with industrial x-ray and electron imaging. When I have a decent data set I'll post it so those dedicated few who are making their own nixies can possibly extend the life of what they create. Personally, I'm hesitant to open any of my dead ones because they contain mercury - even though I have access to HAZMAT containment hoods. I'm not the paranoid type but mercury poisoning makes lead poisoning look tame...
