Numitrons are awesome! Driving them is so much easier than Nixie we all can relate to that. I especially like the Russian Queen Numitron IV-13 and also IV-19's because they have the extra segments. The Queens are sweet though when underlit with blue leds like here: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/e1IAAOSw44dcA-TN/s-l1600.jpg and here: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/LG0AAOSw3bZcA-Tg/s-l1600.jpg I'm from USA so of course love the RCA and Apollo Numi's.
