B9012- Vibration Resistance?

[Jonathan Peakall]

Hi All,

I am wondering what the vibration resistance of these tubes is? Looking
at it, it looks much better than a regular Nixie. I'm thinking an
automotive application. How well do y'all think these tubes would stand up?

Thanks!

I have several where the internal shield with the numbers have come loose and also some where the metal piece lying under the shield have come loose so it is rattling. This prevents the tube from working properly unless you shake it so that things falls back in their original position so I wouldn't recommend it to be used in any environment where it is shaken.

Drat! A speedo or odometer for my 1960 Valiant would have been AWESOME!
