[kay486]

Hi there, does somebody know what IV tubes are there? I would love to see a list with pictures or something like that.

You could look at http://www.gstube.com/catalog/7 which is a site that
seems to be selling tubes. But they have a list of tubes, even ones
they don't sell, usually with the manufacturer's name, picture, and
often a data sheet. Scroll down about halfway to get to the IV series.

I'd love to find a few IV-2 tubes, no point in describing them you'll
have to see them :)

Others I know of not in that list:

IV-19 Top view Numitron
IV-28 Large single dot (VFD version of IN-28)

Anyone know of any more?.

Tony.

Sorry the IV29 is the large dot, the IV-28 is a flat multi digit 'VCR'
type display.

There's quite a few more types of Soviet / Russian VFDs, especially
once you get out of the IV-## numbering format. Dieter's data archive
at http://www.tube-tester.com/sites/nixie/dat_arch.htm (scroll down to
"Russian Tube Factories") has a huge amount of information, both full
data books and individual tube data sheets. Knowledge of Russian is
helpful. 8-}

Newer displays seem to be trending towards the gigantic rather than
the miniature. The ILC1-1/7 is a 7-segment display bigger than a soda
can: http://www.decadecounter.com/vta/articleview.php?item=1072

The UDT-3 is a 9 x 7 dot matrix display the same size as the ILC1-1/7.
The ILV2-5/7M2 is a smaller display in the same style envelope which
is a 5 x 7 RGB VFD.

This is a special-purpose VFD panel: http://www.tmk.com/transient/6F5S8587-s.jpg

This is the largest Russian VFD I know of, a 128 x 128 matrix display:

If you expand beyond VFDs, you can find many bizarre devices. The
ITM2M is a truly bizarre tube which is a high-voltage RGBY display in
a 2 x 2 format, designed for making giant display panels (with equally
giant power requirements).

A fat update of the Nixie tube data archive will follow the next months.

I have found many many more interesting datasheets....

And: PLEASE!!! IF YOU HAVE DATASHEETS, PLEASE PLEASE SEND THEM TO ME!!

SEND ALL YOU HAVE! MY MAILBOX IS WAITING, MY MAILBOX IS HUNGRY...

Not only datasheet, also magazines, old scheamtics with nixie tubes, articles, pictures, hand written notes (pinouts, data...)

SPAM ME WITH ALL DATA YOU HAVE! ;-)

Look what i found, could the clock be made out of the IN-28 tubes? http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:El.clock_Poznan_WBK.jpg

Hi,

I don't think so, looks like it's made from several aligned neon tubes instead. Typical IN-28 displays look like this:

You can always see the dots very clearly.

Oh yeah, you are probably right, i looked into the curners and it seemd it could be single bulbs, but you can see on the left side those tubes overlaping.
