I'm interested in Nixies with symbols instead of numerals. I already have all of the Soviet ones.

I've looked at the databases on the web (thanks for all your hard work, guys) and there seem to be quite a few. Does anyone have a text file or spreadsheet with manufacturer, part number and symbols? I don't want to have to cut and paste dozens of pieces of information into a list by hand.

I'm not really into tubes with just plus, minus and sine which narrows it down quite a bit.

Thanks in advance and hats off to this wonderful group.

Q: Should car stereo speakers be pointed to the rear for more thrust or up for more traction?

A. On long trips, the 20- to 30% improvement in gas mileage you might get with speakers pointing to the rear is certainly worthwhile. On the other hand, if you drive on snow or ice, the extra traction of speakers pointing upward gives you added control.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I've seen your site and it's excellent. I greatly appreciate all the hard work you put into it.

The only downside: I'll be spending more money on tubes. 8D

Hello from California
I have a box of about 190 Burroughs symbol tubes.
You are welcome to as many as you need.

I’ll send the part no when I am back in the workshop

Does anybody know what symbols these B-54364 tubes show, I cant find any info online for them at all?
Dangerous game, offering free tubes on a collectors forum, like walking into an AA meeting with a crate of beer... :-)
