Not strictly related to nixies but cautionary nonetheless is what follows. I 
have had the following items deemed restricted and thus could not be shipped 
from the USA to me (in Canada):

Heathkit W-7A amplifier 
Tektronix 130 LCR Meter
HP 410B VTVM

This has occurred within the last two months. My guess as to why this occurred 
would be (in order):

Selenium Rectifier
VR Tube with isotope OA2
VR Tube with isotope OB2

Of course no explanation is given and no appeal is possible.
