I've seen similar, with digits 0-9. I'm not sure why this unit is 1-6 because you could not even use it for a clock; must have been a special application.
I've always wondered if anyone manufactured a dekatron (or in this case, a "hexatron" ) in this manner. I doubt these were very popular because the digits are much smaller than a conventional nixie with the same footprint, and they move around. Even nixies are a bit annoying as the numerals move forward and backward. This just inspired me for another clock project (my wife is gonna kill me....): I will etch some metal disks and backlight them with NE-2's; I think it would be sinful to use an LED...... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
