Transistor as On/Off Switch for Muxing - Why use two?
I just spent some time on DigiKey looking for a sufficient transistor. I plan on using a BJT, because its the only type I'm familiar with at the moment. I found the MPSA43 to be a great candidate.

Re: ETL Multi-segment Tubes on Ebay
I've never seen a Burroughs/Sperry/Beckman/Babcock neon Panaplex with a mesh anode or grid, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. There were other makers of similar displays too, such as Vishay and
