Re: IN-18 darkening photos posted! - CCCP
Hi, As I used to leave in the USSR for a while ;-), there is my knowledge about product quality in the USSR: CCCP on the item only means Made in the USSR, but if it's inside pentagon shape sign called

Re: Who's got the numitrons?
I plan on (eventually) producing clock kits and assembled clocks. Since these tubes are a lot less expensive than nixies (and are alpha-numeric) I think they'll be popular. http://www.tmk.com (general

Re: IN-18 darkening photos posted! - CCCP
I think you mean the "OTK ##" stamp. I've jokingly told other tube collectors that that means "nobody from the factory faced a firing squad this week". Given some of the quality variations I've seen,

Re: Who's got the numitrons?
What are you planning to do with them? I am working on a 12 IV-17 PCB and somewhat universal VFD driver that will be done soon (hopefully, but I keep wasting time on the internet). I have enough tubes

Re: IN-18 darkening photos posted! - CCCP
No, his tube has the OTK stamp. It does not have the CCCP stamp. I have not been able to find a difference in used vs new tubes. The only difference I see in his is that his tubes do not have the CCCP

Re: Who's got the numitrons?
No, I picked up a couple large batches on eBay and some others from a private seller I found. My average price for the thousand or so I got was 57 cents each. I've had a dozen or so IV-9's running

Re: IN-18 darkening photos posted! - CCCP
Nothing of significance. The melding of the tube base to the envelope on the CCCP ones is gray, while the others are transparent. But every aspect of the internal construction is the same, except for
