Thanks! I only have two of these but I used them to test 40 BX-1000 yesterday and all were working, not at the top rated speed but well enough to be used in a 110KHz counter like the DC-111 module was designed for. Fortunately all components on these two modules were within spec so they ran as they should. The only drawback with these tubes is the spacing that you'll have to put them at and also their sensitivity to magnetic fields, so I'll have to shield the transformers and I'll design a new PCB with all BX-1000's spaced correctly. I just made a new short film showing the other module counting from 0-9, this module has not been modified so it counts in a cycle without any skipped steps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4x8fR1NGFVA . /Martin
