The neat thing is that if nixie tube production becomes continuous again, we will not need the long life that mercury provides.
Maybe I am being too hopeful, but I think that smaller groups manufacturing their own stuff will become easier in the coming
decades, not harder.

Hi Nick,
I will start with evaporable getter (from audio tubes), this will be
for testing purposes. Once I have working prototype, I will use a
non-evaporable getter pill, just like normal nixie tubes - I have a
few hundreds brand new pcs now. Getter is not a problem.
About the mercury, I will use probably mercury dispensing pill or
combined getter and mercury dispenser. I guess this also doesnt
present big problem, but I didnt inquired these parts yet..
New update coming tonight!

I guess that in order to get a decent tube life comparable with later nixies
you'll have to add getters & Hg doping,,,
The mercury bit could present a H&S issue for you...
