Did you create those sockets for the tubes yourself?

I'm relatively new to the nixie scene, but I already love these neon tubes.
I'm really interested in nixies with smooth or round tops though. I have
some IN-14s just to prototype with, but I'd like my finished product to
look more polished. I'm aware of IN-18s, but not quite comfortable with
nce multiplied by the current. In the off state, the current is 0A,

I'm struggling to get my head around this. But considering the following
setup for a nixie tube, wouldn't the voltage across the cathode transistor
be close to 0? Most of the voltage should be dropped across the tube
itself, with the remained dropped across the current-limiting resistor,
Does anyone have any leads (or is willing to sell) nixie tubes with smooth
tops? I am looking for tubes in the same form as IN-18 but want something
other than an IN-18.
I know about tubes like NL-900, NL-5440A, or B-5441A, but I haven't found
any listings for them in particular, would be open
taller and slimmer than other B13B

This is a nixie tube, specifically a B-5441. It looks like there is some
trouble getting the cathodes to fully light and it is missing the blue haze
around numerals that other B-5441s seem to have.

Hey all,
Has anyone seen a tube with the inner glass covered in silver spots inside
the tube? What does this mean and is it repairable like cathode poisoning?
Thanks!

Has anyone had any success restoring a nixie tube which does not want to
light up? I don't think the tube has degassed, could it just be severe
poisoning? If so, what's the best way to restore it?

Still no luck getting it to light with a power supply though. I've varied

I got this from Jan, in fact.
I'll get a neon testing wand (or a plasma globe) and test if they are
outgassed.
Jan mentioned they were poisoned, so I was operating on that assumption,
but if they are indeed outgassed that will be quite unfortunate.

What are people doing with loose tubes in their collections? I've been
wrapping mine in bubble wrap but have been wanting to start putting them in
tube boxes designed to hold them.
Does anyone know where I can buy tube boxes for relatively cheap?
Thanks

I think it says "Вольтметр универсальный В7-16" at the top. If you google
that, you can find some webpages with more info.
I do like the look of these multimeters, but the biggest challenge for
using them for me would be the 220V input

Please share the display when you complete it, it sounds pretty interesting!
I could probably source you a broken Z568M, if I can find it. Used to have
a broken B-7037 too, but luckily I got my money back for that one.

I've started accumulating quite the collection of items and am a bit
astounded at how much it all adds up to. And some items are pretty rare,
even if I spent $x, it might cost $5x to get another one.

Trying to pare down my collection a bit.

I believe it's an NL7037 or NL934, pretty nice tube if it works.

Well, I was hoping to get another NL-7094 to get a two digit clock going,
but certainly not at this price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/254522682842.
What do you all think? The seller seemingly isn't even guaranteeing it

the left tube is missing the numbers 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and 9 and the right

I just received some high-value (at least to me) nixie tubes that have mild

there any best practices I can follow

I've been lucky enough to purchase some LC-631 for my collection over the
years. They're not the most expensive tubes I own, but they're definitely
at the top in terms of rarity. It's a shame Meratronik didn't use LC-631
instead of Z566M, which are now abundantly sold after being removed from

During my daily spelunking for Nixie tubes, I saw that the person working
on making the JP47 seems to be selling 2 prototype tubes.
Not a cheap tube, but compared to CD47s it seems more reasonable.

tubes and different enough from the ZM1040 to be really special (and of
course much more rare). Surprised to hear about finding NIB NL5440As, I
hope you got them for a reasonable price. It's crazy what the NL5540A/1As
are
I have purchased from them as well - no issues even with the international
shipping.
Surprised to see this tube go at 1,340.00 EUR, a good deal based on
previous CD47 auctions I've seen in the last two years (given that I've
only seen 4 or 6 sold?).
