Ah, but four sets of closely-spaced elements in one envelope? Would it work? That is why my first reaction was that they had locally walled off the individual pairs but had left them all in one main gas container. I WANTED it to be novel like that.
However, the tops are closed - note:- you can't see the walls of tubulation. You can see what looks like snip/scissor lines across solid glass. I think all the bottoms are sealed. I will attempt to locate my other example, maybe even ask for examples on TCA.

I just had a look at the datasheet for the tube and it is shown as all voltage regulators are encased in one envelope, not four separate. http://www.radiomuseum.org/tubes/tube_zz1030.html & http://frank.pocnet.net/sheets/128/z/ZZ1030.pdf /Martin On Wednesday, 16 March 2016 13:09:37 UTC+1, Dekatron42 wrote: As you say it looks like the tips are open, they certainly aren't melted at the tip like the four separate ones. It would be interesting to see the result if the ZZ1030 was checked with a plasma lamp, that would show if there is neon gas in the envelope or just in each voltage regulator tube. /Martin On Wednesday, 16 March 2016 12:49:26 UTC+1, jrehwin wrote: OK... so why a getter in this one? All the little NEON tubes are each already sealed. I don't think they're sealed. I think their tips are open to the main enclosing envelope. - John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
