Personally, I'm leery of all high speeds. I still don't know if there's a consensus on what the gas mix is in those purple jobs. I'm leaning towards hydrogen. If so, it'll react with the innards, and eventually, no joy.
I haven't played with that tube, but I have looked at its datasheet, and its specs. Its similar to the OG-3, much in the same way that a GC10/4B is related to a GC10B, and a OG-9 is to an OG-4. In the OG-3, OG-4, GC10B, and 6482 only one cathode is brought out separately, while the others are ganged together. In the OG-8, OG-9, GC10/4B, & 6802, a few of the other cathodes are also brought out separately, using up the remainder of the octal base pins. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
