From the way that reads God help us all, if they find out that Nixies DO
contain Mercury, albeit a minuscule amount. HOWEVER, ANY amount of mercury is
forbidden on commercial airliners as far as I know. Ira

Aaron, that sucks big time. I'm a big fan of Brimar tubes and the fact that
they trashed it without prior notification is not only painful to hear but
would make my blood boil. Just imagine if they did that to nixie tubes or other
vacuum tubes that actually contain Hg....
Ass-hats.
Thanks for the heads up...I've had quite a few CRT's shipped
internationally, but none of this nonsense (thank your deity of choice).

I can't help but share this experience with the Global Shipping Program.
I bought a beautiful Brimar CRT and it was duly shipped to the GSP centre,
after which ... they promptly disposed of it without the seller's consent! (And
for no valid reason.)
And the "Sent from my iPhone" ...
