Ooh, I have been out of the loop lately. I had not heard that. I have an odd fondness for front facing tubes like the ZM102x's and IN-12's. Maybe because the first Nixie tubes I ever saw (and captivated me) were front facing ones back around 1972 IIRC. Large tubes like that B-7095 that have appeared on eBay really impress me. I would find the money to assemble a six digit front facing Nixie tube clock with ~1.5" digits which I believe the largest of the large Burroughs/National tubes had.
