[neonixie-l] Re: Dekatrons - phenolic or metal bases

Well, quite a bit of 'documentation' is not a lot more reliable than eBay descriptions actually... Particularly if there's any mention of argon - there are dekatrons that contain argon, but not very many. There are quite a few questions blended together in your ask: - Ageing. The key thing

I took myself off to the MIT flea market about a month ago. The best thing I came away with was an old iPod with the scroll wheel interface - my wife prefers the physical interface to touch screens as she can operate them without having to look at them. There were no nixies, vfds or dekatrons

Thank you, Eric, Threeneurons. What I am taking away from this is: * Keep my thyratrons for the reason I bought them: spares for my Geiger counters. (I have two: because the original wasn't working, the Ebay vendor sent not the parts (missing GM tubes) I asked for, but a whole unit.) *

Depends if you just want to use one to step a dekatron, or need it between dekatrons, so the second one steps, per every revolution of the prior one. The interstage one could be a problem. That one would need to respond to the output of one dekatron, and then boost it to step the second. The
