Not a NIMO-brand tube, but there's a soon-to-end Telefunken XM1000 on
eBay. https://www.ebay.de/itm/265885293184 (not my auction, no relation,
etc.)

Alas, I was quickly outbid, and there's another week to go.
The last time I saw a pair of NIMOs up for auction, the untested pair went
for over 600 USD.
Coincidentally, there is going to be a LOT of activity on my bench for the
next 2 weeks with these 6-tube NIMO clock board sets, and I will post
updates from mission control. There is 1 final wet dress rehearsal this
weekend, and the countdown is on to fire-up 6 tubes.

So sorry - the unit on the bay is the 'regular' single digit type NIMO
tube.

There was another twist on the NIMO tube that used an external
deflection yoke to show multiple digits on a single line; I believe it 4 or
6 digits.
Never saw this 8x8 tube before; that must be one RARE device.
In order for a NIMO tube to display multiple lines of multiple
characters (like a CRT), it would need a deflection yoke for X and Y
direction.
I feel sad for the folks at IEE who put so much time and effort into
the NIMO tube. It's technologically clever, but a colossal execution and
marketing failure; it missed the market window by about 10 years.
