Very cool. But expensive! I aspire (possibly foolishly) to attempt such
experiments some day, once I get my high vacuum station set up for lasers,
neon, plasma, fusor, etc.
If I were to buy a spool of the Dumet wire, would anyone like to get some
of the wire to play with to help share the cost
There are still a lot of companies making glass to metal seals as these
seals are used in a lot of equipment's where vacuum tight seals are needed,
like in satellites, so you can google "glass to metal seal manufacturers"
and try to learn more from them.

1) I was watching some nixie production videos and a question came up.
Is tungsten wire used because this metal offers the most appropriate
seal with glass? One of the videos where a nixie was made in a garage
showed that tungstan turns a coppery color
