The only working specimens of Z505S that I own have a purplish/blueish glow with very little orange in them. The ones that have more orange only counts below 50KHz and not well at all, they count erratically. The other ones count perfectly and also a bit beyond 50KHz. My 6909/6910 from various manufacturers also have slight blueish glow to them but are more orange than the Z505S's. all of my 6909/6910 count up to the specified 100KHz and a little more if the surrounding circuitry is trimmed. It would be interresting to check magazine articles on these Dekatrons as you usally get a lot more information from those than from manufacturer datasheets/manuals, especially when it comes to details the manufacturers themselevs didn't want to reveal. /Martin
