A saw a discussion earlier that some people were using the Sperry (Burroughs?) Panaplex 7-segement gas displays. I stumbled across them for a good price at:
https://www.electronicsurplus.com/sperry-sp736-opto-display-panaplex-neongas They have 3 units of the 2-digit displays in stock, and several of the 1 and 1/2- digit display modules. Also, they have some possibly interesting UHP495 high voltage driver chips. I'm going to look up the specs on these chips, as they seem to have quite a few, and they may be useful to drive standard nixies (as opposed to their intended driving of Panaplex displays): https://www.electronicsurplus.com/sprague-uhp495-ic-opto-display-gas-display-drivers In addition, they have quite a variety of neon bulbs, some high voltage-low RDS-on MOSFETs, and some other multi-digit Sperry gas displays; all of which may be of interest to this group. I am buying a few different Molex and other types of pins to see if any would work nicely as nixie tube socket pins - I will let the group know if anything ends up being useful. I have not bought from them before, but hope they are reputable as I came across a pointer to them on the AdaFruit site. It was sad to see that a number of the links to other electronics surplus site went to out-of-business pages, or dead links. - Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
