I've seen 'em too. Not a pure green glow, but on one of the kind of tubes that the cathode is a rod with a squarish hunk of something attached to it (what is that?), the glow was a whitish purple with a distinctly green area near the cathode. I'm guessing maybe a little barium getter got deposited on the cathode and a little got vaporized? - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
