I made a clock with those tubes few years ago and I can confirm they do not fail as quickly - they are still fine. Colour of the discharge suggests there was more mercury used than in regular tubes. Great replacement for IN-1, but I would pick different tube if I was to make a new clock - the bakelite base makes the tube much larger without increasing the digit size, so the digits are far away from each other. Also the base is non-standard. piątek, 27 sierpnia 2021 o 19:26:33 UTC+2 Terry Bowman napisał(a):
