Selling electronics seems to be very complex in the EU. Even for small series you apparently need the CE certificate... and many other paperwork. You even have to register and pay for future recycling. And I think is better to have a good insurance because of the “product liability”. Selling

I see similarities with Dalibor's manufacturing process, notably the flat crimp for bringing-out the leads. The tubulation at the base is different, and typical of many nixies. It appears the numerals are hand-made by bending wire. The connecting wires glow along with the numeral. Still, very
