That's the spirit! ;-) There is another problem, though. Say, a company jumps out of the closet and goes "Hi everybody, we will manufacture new Nixie tubes now!". Would these tubes be as "genuine" as

Dmitry, Thank you for your detailed reply. Your English is quite good and with your help I was able to make my display work! I used a 1kHz sine wave at 190v (the best I could make) and connected one
