While I think they are very interesting, I cannot imagine someone making new ones or even that big a demand for them beyond a die-hard hobbyist. Nixie's were hard enough to power at 170V using low voltage power supplies but the NIMO's require over 1 kV IIRC. Plus all of the used ones I have seen had burned phosphor so the tubes would definitely require something like anti-poisoning or a "screen saver" to keep them from burning in as well. I do not see the phosphor having the same longevity as mercury doped Nixie tubes. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
