Re: [neonixie-l] Re: 26 In18 Tubes

[Tony]

That's interesting - so you have them listed as US only and didn't
know that ebay are offering them to the UK (and other countries) via
their GSP?.

I see '$32.64 International Priority Shipping to United Kingdom  via
the Global Shipping Program'.

They have a reputation for destroying anything that looks like it
'contains Mercury' usually vintage vacuum tubes. In this case though
they'd be correct as you can see the small Mercury 'pill' in a wire
spiral at the tube base.

I notice you're sending them via the global tube disposal program so
anyone outside the US will never see them.

Does ebay give you an option to not use it or is it forced on you when
you list them with international postage?.

It's an honest listing, that was my point.  
Too many eBay listings conveniently say that there was no way to test and no 
returns... 
We've all seen postings about pin seal failures on IN-18 nixies.  Wonder if the 
material properties for the glass to metal seal are not well matched...

At least the listing is honest.  3 of 26 with glow is not a good testament to 
IN-18 pin to glass seal integrity.

Re: [neonixie-l] z568m tubes starting to fail

Are the tubes fading uniformly, or just in specific locations on the 
cathode surface ? If it's the entire cathode , I would check the anode 
supply voltage and also the current-draw on good vs bad tubes

Re: [neonixie-l] z568m tubes starting to fail

[Jeff Walton]

A tube that has sat dormant for a long period can exhibit these issues.  The 
cathodes can pick up surface contamination which will likely clear up if you 
run them for a day or two.  It's not exactly the same as operating cathode 
poisoning but shows similarly.  This is very typical when you get an old nixie. 
 Regular operating keeps the cathode "cleaned".

I made a little tiny scope clock with this CRT back in 2001.

Pete, what would explain the low lifespan? Surely the tube wasn't designed 
to last a month. 

Is there some biasing change that would extend the life? Was it maybe 
designed only for dark room application where the beam current would be 
much lower? 

I just have a hard time understanding such a short lifespan.

After a couple of weeks the phosphor gets too dim to see in daylight. I 
know it's the phosphor because when I adjusted it to move the ticks to new 
locations where it had never been scanned, they were bright again. I put a 
new tube in and the same thing happened. The phosphor coating is really
