Ah, that's the *other* ETL! Electronic Tubes Ltd of High Wycombe as opposed to Ericsson Telephones Ltd of Beeston. It's the Ericsson ETL which makes the nixies, dekatrons etc. Thanks Martin! Jon. On Wednesday, May 31, 2023 at 12:25:52 PM UTC+1 Dekatron42 wrote: > It does look like Paul got

Paul, would you mind sharing the basis for your comment about the post-1957 Mullard/ETL connection? I've done a lot of work on ETL history (visited what's left of their archives, talked to employees etc) and this is news to me. Thanks, Jon. On Tuesday, May 30, 2023 at 8:21:34 PM UTC+1 Paul

Thanks for asking, but I really don't know yet. There's a HUGE number of tubes to go through (many 1000s). A few of the exotica have been sold to other collectors, but there is a set of 6 matched GR114/CD47s (will sell only as a set) amongst the stuff in the store, plus many other rare tubes.

So here's the thing: I'm rationalising my rather large nixie collection over the next few months I don't need lots of every nixie. I'm starting with a stash of ETL GR10Gs in varying condition - one has a broken 7 internally, 3 others are "dark" to the point of ... just useable... another
