Hi, Just my 2 cents:
I think its not a question of possibility. First of all, i'm not sure if* all *tubes even contain mercury because i bet Dalibor would not use mercury on the tubes he makes. Usually mercury is only used in "long life" tubes. One issue is that probably the manufacturer needs to get the rohs certification - and that would take all old tubes out of line. I don't think you can't get a certification on a old stock product. Also, there is the question why one would need the certification, which costy and brings liablities. Nixie tubes are mostly only of interest for hobby people, and most of them don't care about any industrial regulations and a lot of them even solder with lead-containing solder wire...If you actually want to sell a product conatining nixies you will have to follow alot of other different regulations from the electronic authorities. I wanted to sell a kit *really legally *but my dreams were blown to dust when i found out what it would cost to get all needed licences, not speaking about actually passing them, just the application for them.
