Thanks. Yeah, as always some manuals are easy to find, while others remain elusive... I'll wait to print the ones I found out at work until I get the units safely back to San Antonio for evaluation. My buddy said they look dirty and have evidence of rodents nearby... On Wed, Oct 5, 2022 at

CuriousMarc has just released a video of a calculator repair involving eightron 7-segment neon tubes, which he mentions are very rare but fairly similar in appearance to Panaplex multi-digit tubes. I see that Langrex, a UK surplus supplier specialising in valves has somewhat similar Pandicons
