Hello Nick, Thank you so much for all insights. That's exactly what I need, reviews and sharing different POVs. This is my first campaign that kinda is moving on. I realise that it would not be successful at this time, but I gather necessary experience and will try again (I give myself three go's). Ultimately should this fail, I will fund all this myself because that is my long term plan. I once run a glass workshop, when I was a student and then an employee at University of Technology abroad. I was repairing glass and manufacturing cathode tubes mainly for the physics demonstrations. I know works of Mr Farny, but in my case it is much more advanced as nixies and now neon signs are just a bait to attract people. The workshop would eventually be capable to produce vacuum tubes from scratch that involves many additional processes than just bending filaments and pumping Ne to nixies, as you know. I repaired many vacuum tubes with ca. 65% success in the process and that was without many strategic tools. So I consider myself quite handy with glass and stuff :) Please understand that this funding is just to get some push, as things started happening quite a time ago and involved much of tedious restorations for additional purposes, such as refurbishing planetary ball mill for manufacturing emission pastes and luminophores. That took almost a year and a shedload of cash. Anyway - I will try to put some more pics of the tubes I've done years ago once I get them shipped. I moved couple of months ago and still have to get the rest of my stuff. If I won't be able to find any old pics then they would definitely go on the second campaign.
Again many thanks for your interest and insights.
