| PV Electronics still has GN-4
P.S. no affiliation with any of these ! Just used a search engine...

This style tube is often available on the internet as well as the auction site.

Often as GN4 or GN4A beware the early ones with a semisphere front, they tend to have no mercury, all the ones with just a domed front seem to - if this makes sense!.

I only bought six of them, I have no idea what happened to the others. That was at a store, 15 years ago

Hello, J. Forbes:
Are any of those for sale?

I have a clock here built in 2010 that uses 6844A tubes. Those work great and look very nice but do not have mercury so they have relatively short lives. But I have had fairly decent service out of mine. A while back I got some more spares from members here, including some 5092s. But please do check out 6844 tubes as an option.

It's worth the time and effort to find NOS 5092 tubes one-by-one if necessary; they are very high quality. I dont know how old your kids are, but our son and daughter soldered their nixie clocks so they appreciate them more.

Hi!
Years back I designed and built a B-5092 based clock and it's been working great. I'd like to build a couple more clocks for the kids. Looking around for additional tubes it seems the 5092s have gotten much harder and more expensive and it looks tough to find two sets of six plus some backups.
Are the ZM1022s drop-in replacements for the B-5092, or just really close?
Any other similar size/shape tubes that people are finding success with? I can redesign my circuit board if it makes sense to switch to something like an IN-4 with a lot more backups :-), but that would be less desirable.
Thanks in advance!
