I see a Panaplex d7 seg display once in a while but the pinball folks tend to grab them up (I have a 1983 Bally Centaur machine with them ;-). I think part of it is the difficulty in driving the more complex dot matrix plasma panels - not nearly as easy as driving nixies. But I've been in love with them ever since I saw a friend bring over his Compaw 'Portable' pc that had a plasma monitor built in - if I could afford one in working condition I'd buy it just to run a screensaver lol. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
