ETL Multi-segment Nixie Tubes on Ebay - Who won?
I can't believe I had to work late today and missed the end of this
auction!!! Did someone here win item #320552926621, because I'd love to
hear and see more about these tubes.

Well it looks like I won them, I am not sure what I got, I thought they
might be numitron style? Well see when they arrive.
Could be, but I'm more inclined to believe they're the earliest known neon
multi-segment (panaplex-style) readouts. At least until someone says
otherwise. Either way, it's quite a find, congratulations!

Hi A.J.,
This reminds me a display, a friend showed me yesterday, build in a HP 432B
RF-powermeter. It looks like panaplex, including the triangular
decimalpoint, but a fine mesh grid in front of the segments is visible when
lit (I haven't opened the instrumentand there is a dark FP-style filter in
front of the display).
Is this mesh ever used in panaplex displays, or is it no genuine Panaplex?
We are also wondering this is original in this instrument version, while he
has also a HP 432C, that has normal nixietubes in the front.
Can you (or others) tell me more?
Thanks,
eric
