[neonixie-l] What ever became of the RCA mystery tube?

[jb-electronics]

Hi folks,

I was just going through some old files and I found these two pictures 
of an old Ebay listing for some sort of RCA (?) indicator lab sample:


Does anybody have more information about this? I am not even sure what 
kind of device we are dealing with. Judging from the coated wires it is 
probably gas-filled, making this a gas discharge display. In 2011, after 
it was discovered on Ebay, it was conjectured that Giorgio Basile won 
the auction, see his magnificent website here: 
http://www.lampes-et-tubes.info/index-e.htm . Unfortunately, it is not 
listed there. So I am wondering: does anyone around here have pictures 
of this wonderfully interesting tube in action?


I am curious to hear your thoughts.

Cheers
Jens

Well, Tony (lasermad.com) has developed a levitating nixie tube clock
(which I'm building right now!) so you could mix the two;-)

Upside down tubes will be available by beginning of next year. I already 
have parts for it (only the digits are different - welding tab on top vs. 
bottom).

Cheers!
