It is hard to fathom if the pin dimensions are the same as IN18 or maybe ZM1040's that a newly designed tube wouldn't follow that logic....seems like a missed opportunity to sell more tubes? Are we sure these aren't pin compatible with some old tubes? I haven't check these out yet...

I doubt it's malicious like that, but it is a huge missed opportunity that these tubes cant take advantage of existing IN-18 clocks/kits, especially since he said he plans to make tubes with different fonts.

These tubes look gorgeous and have some good thought behind it.  I love that it is a true pinned tube with a round dome.  

What ruins it for my purpose is that the pinout is proprietary and probably done so he can sell expensive clocks.  I have multiple IN-18 based clocks that I was going to just drop tubes into to replace the IN-18s to see how they looked and held up. 

For people that want to build more from scratch, it won't be a big issue.

Hello guys,
There is a new nixie tube "DMG01" and the clock using this tube , project lanched on Kickstarter now: ( not my list )

The tube is similar with IN18 in size but with more beautiful outlook and visual effects.

Its interesting seems they take great effort to achieve this !
