I see similarities with Dalibor's manufacturing process, notably the flat crimp for bringing-out the leads. The tubulation at the base is different, and typical of many nixies. It appears the numerals are hand-made by bending wire. The connecting wires glow along with the numeral. Still, very impressive to see someone else actually getting one to work.
I'm going to wait-and-see before I consider buying one; making a tube this size is very difficult, and the large size means more sources of contaminants and mechanical-strength challenges. Digits nearly 6 inches tall would make an obnoxiously big clock; gotta make one ! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
