|
laingt@...
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. Tim Laing ETL Multi-segment Nixie Tubes on Ebay - Who won? Posted by: "yellow74ghia" mjrippe@... yellow74ghia Wed Jun 30, 2010 3:17 pm (PDT) 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. Mike |

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 Yahoo!

There were other makers of similar displays too, such as Vishay and Telefunken. However, as you know, mesh grids are common in VFDs. Putting a typical blue-green VFD behind a dark amber filter like that which HP used for nixie displays, will give a color nearly indistinguishable from neon glow. Do you by chance remember whether the characters had any fuzziness to their edges, or if they were very sharp? Another possibility is that it was a normal neon panaplex display with the usual near-invisible printed indium tin oxide anodes, but the equipment (being meant for use in an RF environment) has a mesh Faraday cage in front of the display.

I guess you have a growing crowd, who'd definitely like to see what you've gotten, including me. So when it arrives, take lots of pictures. Hopefully, a few of it lit up. Nice find !Well it looks like I won them, I am not sure what I got ...inclined to believe they're the earliest known ... |

Could be, but I'm more inclined to believe they're the earliest knownneon multi-segment (panaplex-style) readouts. At least until someone saysHmm I don't think so, National Union has at least one 7 segment tube in their product line, the NUP100. They were some on Ebay a few weeks ago. I have taken several pictures already, I will upload them eventually, but now I am under quite some stress. I believe the NUP100 is only one from the "segmented tube series" from National Union, given the index number 100 (we know there are tubes like NUP118). The NUP100 reminds me of some patent applications for these tubes I have seen, maybe some other NUP tubes will surface over the time to give us certainty. Sadly, there don't seem to be records on National Union and teir product line. These 14 segment tubes from ETL are something completely different. They are labelled ETL, and furthermore, lab sample. Their prefix "VX" implies that they are not from the usual display tube product line. Well, I am dying to see some pictures, too. ;-) Best regards, Jens |

Unfortunately he lives at quite a distance from here. So I won't be able to seeit myself in the near future. eric Yahoo! Groups Links |
