I bought a few spare A-101's and at least one had a 1992 manufacturing date.

So I'm wondering what could the former Soviet Union have needed with such 
old technology in the 1990's ? I would have expected that they would have 
replaced all their dekatron equipment by then, so even spare tubes should 
not have been needed. Or, am I entirely wrong and they continued to use 
1950's era technology for another 30-40 years ?

Or perhaps was there rampant waste & excess that old factories kept 
churning-out obsolete devices, only to store them in warehouses, just to 
keep workers employed ?

Too bad the soviets didn't make tons of CD47's........
