Hi!
do You have more information about "sputtering windows"? I hear it for
the first time. I know that any hole significantly bigger then anode
screen holes let the sputtered particles to go through and deposit on
the glass
Yes, that's it.

Hi Dieter,
do You have more information about "sputtering windows"? I hear it for

screen holes let the sputtered particles to go through and deposit on
the glass (ZM1040/42 have small "window"), but I dont know whether it
has any
HI!
Yes, Nick ;-)
I'm already in contact with Darin.
I would say:
IN-18 and Z5660M are both wonderful and perfect Nixie tubes.
I like the IN-18 more - these are the best ever made (in my opinion).
And they nearly last forever.
Yes, the older tubes before 1989 need a longer CP prevention. But they
Yep, the IN-18's have date stamps. You'll probably pay a little more for
those that are date coded in the late 80's early nineties...I think the
'youngest' IN-18's I've seen is 1992 and the oldest 1974. Apart from the Hg
doping in the later date codes (no idea when that started), there's really
no
I was going to buy a kit for sure, I don't have the tools or room(1 room
efficiency apt) to build one from scratch.
I spoke to this one guy and he said that he had more failures with the
IN-18 than the Z566, so that is why I asked question #3.
Also, this other person told me that IN-18 have d
Ooh...that'll open up some discussion.
Here's my 2 cents having built clocks with both of them.
The IN-18's are larger but not by too much and have more elongated
numerals. They are also a little cheaper than the Z5660M as far as I can
see at the moment, but still around 35 to 40 dollars a tube!
That is good idea but I am actually getting a full clock kit and can only
afford one. This is big investment for me and that is why I thought I would
ask around.
Thanks,

I am trying to decide between Z5660M and IN-18 tubes. I am new to all this
and I was wondering if I could get some opinions, please:
1) I see by the measurements the size difference isn't very significant.
Which are considered more attractive? And why?
2) Which are considered more rare/hard to
