Depends upon which segments are bad; you can still get many characters to display. Also, are the failed segment(s) completely dead, or do they have signs of poisoning ? You might be able to cleanse those with more current
Originally, I had no intention of using 7971's because I'm not a big fan of segmented displays. They seem harsh and un-artistic compared to the traditional full-formed nixies. THEN..... last year I was given a defective (not completely dead) one. They are so doggone big that I could no longer resist. I'm interested in paying for shipping-costs for a completely dead one, to use as a 'museum piece' at work. I'm sure others would like dead ones as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
