Very nice. I assume you have tried pumping more current through the non-working digits? Like do you get any glow on them at all, or just nothing? Any obvious signs that the non-functioning digits are disconnected?
I was contemplating making a clock that deliberately malfunctions with some flaky 6844A tubes I have. Maybe a clock with a small backup tube that displays the missing digits? BTW, I was contemplating asking the seller if he knew what kind of device they were in. Always curious about these big tubes. > On Jun 7, 2017, at 2:48 PM, Robert L <[email protected]> wrote: > > > OK... Tubes just arrived in good condition from USPS, mixed results testing > them...
