Re: [neonixie-l] In18 displaying cathode poisoning after 1000hrs or less.

What is the date code? It may not necessarily be cathode poisoning. Partial digit illumination can also be caused by slow outgassing, which may happen when a tube is installed in tight-fitting socket pins which do not yield to thermal expansion, thus causing separation at the pin-glass

I have never dealt with R Weisling directly, but I do enjoy the Nixie group he started. The one thing that confuses me: if Ray lost all his customer data, but still had access to the Nixie group he started, couldn't he have recreated the database by posting on the list? Couldn't he have responded
