Looking for one (1), or perhaps two, IN-8-2 from 1983 or 1984 with full length pins!

I am looking for one (1), or perhaps two, IN-8-2 with full length pins from 1983 or 1984 with preferably datecodes 0183, 0584 or 1084, does anyone have one, or two, such to sell?

I have checked eBay and some other places and asked several sellers but no one seems to have these datecodes with full length pins. I need full length pins due to the way the original Nixie was mounted, see photo below where the wires are threaded in plastic isolation tubes, and I really want to keep the original look.

Are you going to remove the tube's legs from the plastic to re-use? If so, have you already tried or are they melted on?

[Dekatron42]

I haven't tried to remove them yet as the whole circuit board including all components have been dipped in some plastic and it covers everything including the isolation tubes on the pins and it holds them in a very hard grip. Touching them they feel like a completely glued down part so I hope that snipping them off at the Nixie bottom and then desoldering them from the board will let me pull them out from the isolation tube and then thread the new pins into the tubes and soldering them back. I want to keep the bottom piece of the Nixie intact too, that piece is fastened with a screw under the Nixie so I can't reach that unless I crush the piece left from the Nixie bottom.

Yeah it looks like the whole board is conformally coated Martin.  I'm not sure I spelled that right?

Bought a  pair of somewhat newer date, the regular eBay sellers have mostly become very greedy nowadays so a few new sellers are underbidding them - hope the new sellers deliver what they promise!

Let me know if they don’t work out for you.

Thanks, I'll do that!

Today I removed the broken Nixie, but I left the pins inside the insulating tubes until I get the new Nixies, they are glued to each other so they are still positioned like the should be.
