Re: [neonixie-l] Fwd: [tubecollectorsassociation] Tube anachronism in "Oppenheimer"?

I was very disappointed in the film. It was not historically accurate. The two bombs were of different designs and the reactors were different and built in parallel to hedge their bets. The book "The Life and Times of a Technological Fixer" was more interesting to read than watching the film. My fr

Thank's for your replies. *Audrey* It is not IEE for sure. It's just "E.E." *Nick* I'm not sure about it, even here (rather a small tube) the full length "Electronic Enterprices" is printed... However this is the best match so far. [image: ee.jpg] Bartek środa, 19 lipca 2023 o 06:31:49 UTC+2 Ni

[neonixie-l] Fwd: [tubecollectorsassociation] Tube anachronism in "Oppenheimer"?

Quite a discussion and long thread in TCA ( Tube Collectors Association) on the sighting of a Nixie tube countdown timer in the new movie Oppenheimer.  General TCA agreement the prop was a historical error, but information on early Inditron and Nixies was discussed.

Thanks Audrey, Terry, very useful. My copy does have all the hyperlinks and italics that I can see, but I will give it another check. I'll post a link to it once ready...

Re: [neonixie-l] B49989 nixie

Does anyone here own any of these SK-176 tubes (besides B/NL-4998)? I’d be curious to see them, as these tubes seem like they were made largely for military/aerospace applications.On Jul 25, 2023, at 9:39 AM, Mac Doktor wrote:On Jul 25, 2023, at 10:59 AM, Nicholas Stock wrot
