Re: [neonixie-l] Now it's time for some "real" neon!

[Richard Nicewonger]

Greetings everyone,

I thought the group might appreciate my latest toy. It uses genuine 
Beckman displays SP-351 & SP-353 to show 4-1/2 digits.

Data Precision was located in Wakefield, Mass. until sometime in the 80”s. Does 
anyone know any details about the company or

its demise? I haven’t found a whole lot of info online. I also have its little 
brother, the rechargeable 245, which uses the .3” high 

Beckman displays and even sports a lanyard for carrying! Will show that one 
soon. They also made a frequency counter with a

family resemblance to the rest of their line. That one uses LED readouts and 
the one I have is in parts-only condition unfortunately.

I also have two of the '33' tap handles :-) One complete, one partial.

 If one looks close at the clear glass it really looks great.

I also have the Rolling Rock nixie tube sign. Clearly the largest nixie

Nice find!  I love real neon stuff.  Have the Heineken bottle cap sign and
it's awesome.  Have two, actually.  One is broken from poor packing.  Got a
refund and kept the sign some years back.  Crazy ideas on maybe fixing it
myself some day but there are some crazy tight bends in the tubing!

I was helping a friend clean out his garage and this popped in to view.  
How could I leave it there to break or be lost?
