 Damn weirdest things coming out of Russia !  Wonder what other surprises 
are still hidden behind the former iron curtain.

2018-08-09 Thread Dekatron42
It's more like a linear Polyatron (although not far from a linear 
dekatron), if you compare the circuit that I have posted here on the forum 
for the A-201 Polyatron you can see the similarities between the diagrams 
in the auction and the A-201 circuit. The A-201 can interface to a Nixie if 
you wish, but in the IN-21 you have the linear bargraph view built in to 
the design, just like if you would use the internal wires of a dekatron or 
polyatron and straighten them out like a Burroughs Bargraph display like 
the BG12205.

If you look carefully at the photos and the circuit you can see that there 
is a separate 1st electrode named A0, then 33 groups of 3 electrodes named 
A1, A2 & A3 making up 99 electrodes, then a last electrode named An. All of 
these make up a total of 101 electrodes, the first A0 or the last An is 
used to start at either end of the bargraph and the others in between to 
make the dot walk up or down the scale. A0 or An can also be used as "glow 
starter" to have the tube primed. In the auction you can see that you can 
also use A0 (or An) as a reset/starting electrode and the other as an 
output electrode, but both A0 and An can of course be used as reset/output 
electrodes if you design the circuit such.

So is this like a "linear dekatron", or more like a bargraph, ala 
IN-9/IN-13 ?

Looks like the russian made quite a few special makes, this one is similar 
to one i spotted in a older post:

Yes, particularly since the IN-20 datasheet says "Долговечность не менее 
1000 ч" (Durability not less than 1000 hours).

The date code on the one pictured in the listing is May 1974. It is hard to 
make out the manufacturer logo (the seller couldn't have taken worse 
pictures of the identification if they tried), but it looks like Алиот 
(Aliot) which doesn't exactly ring any bells as a hotbed of Nixie 
manufacturing. And there's no OTK stamp.

The seller emphasizes "with long pins" in the headline of the listing, yet 
the pins are cut to varying lengths and show some twisting.

I would avoid.
