SP462 Flat alphanumeric tube (similar to ZM1350, but in italics, and 4 characters.)

I think this tube was mentioned once before on the list, and I wanted to share the one I got for $7. (I still wonder how I got it for that little.) The tube seems to be in perfect condition except for a small ding on the top left, and a little metal disc rolling around in the fill nipple. I tested it, and it seems to work fine. I plan to make it into a FLW. I have no idea whether it is NOS, or used, but it came in the original packaging that the tube that sold on ebay was in.

Is this picture reversed then? I never saw a starburst sloping to the
left and the commas on the wrong side.

John - Its not the display you should be looking at, its the "magic" keyboard underneath!

Yeah the picture is reversed, didn't have time to fix it. It is a cool tube, plan to put it in a DL-1 style clock (Two vfds, one for date, one for temperature+seconds
