Some years ago I bought an Elektronika 7-06K from an eBay seller in Ukraine. It was full of the most noxious dust I could imagine - like finely pulverized concrete, but very acrid. I asked the seller where he got the clock, and he said "A disused industrial premise approximately 100km NNW of Kiev". I don't know if he was kidding or not, but Chernobyl definitely had some 7-06K's: http://newsinphoto.ru/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/chernocY-960x667.jpg -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
