Neighbor was showing off his new KIA Telluride last weekend, it has a massive center console infotainment touch screen. Very nice vehicle. He turned on the radio and the station display was a very realistic depiction of nixie tubes! He didn't know what they were called, but he had seen them

Nice to hear that someone from the group was able to make the trip.  You are fortunate to have your hands on such a treasure trove of antiquities!  Looking forward to seeing photos of the collection.  Eventually we all have collections that will change hands, some sooner than others... Jeff

Transformers are not ideal, so even with zero load, they consume inductive current. Most of the energy gets returned to the AC line, but some of it gets dissipated as heat (winding resistance, and hysteresis). This is why unloaded wall transformers still get slightly warm. You can measure the
