Thanks, Nick. That one is close, but the one I'm looking for had a two 
digit display, and it was built on two breadboards.

Cheers for those Nick,
got to love those 1970's PCBs. Very rounded and, er, blobby. They follow the 
illustration style of the time.

Re: [neonixie-l] Defective B7971 Tubes & Ultronic Chassis

[Tony]

Hi,
I might be interested in taking those which illuminate but have dead
segments. I did post a couple of requests on here back in 2013/14 (I
think) for faulty 7971s but couldn't find enough at the time so the
project went on the shelf.

Tony.

Depends upon which segments are bad; you can still get many characters to 
display.
Also, are the failed segment(s) completely dead, or do they have signs of 
poisoning ? You might be able to cleanse those with more current

Originally, I had no intention of using 7971's because I'm not a big fan of 
segmented displays. They seem harsh and un-artistic compared to the 
traditional full-formed nixies.
THEN. last year I was given a defective (not completely dead) one. They 
are so doggone big that I could no longer resist.

I'm interested in paying for shipping-costs for a completely dead one, to 
use as a 'museum piece' at work. I'm sure others would like dead ones as 
well.
