Hello gents ,

In the Summer I have bought one big ass multi meter just for one tube that show nF and pF signs , called Siemens  R2020 Digital capacitance unbalance set 
 The mentioned tube is labeled GR-43015
GR-43015_1.jpgGR-43015_2.jpgGR43015_3.JPGGR-43015_4.JPG
The module has one ZM1183 which is also marked GR-43031  , 3 X ZM1182 and that GR--43015 
My question is , does Siemens really produced any nixie tubes ? or they have been produced for  them by others ? by checking the GR codes , I assume that  they where made by Okaya -Rodan
Any one has any information about this?

Follow up: everyone has the M1183 listed as having the characters "Ω, +, –, [sine with horizontal line]".

It's my understanding that the last character indicates AC current (as with the inverted sine). If anyone can tell me what the unicode or UTF-8 number for "sine with horizontal line" is I'd be very happy.

Thank you for that. I had found it once before but I lost it again.

The green insulation on the pins inside the tube are pretty characteristic of Japanese nixie tubes, I haven’t seen a tube with it from anywhere else

+1 to what Liam said, I've only seen it on CD-series tubes

I collected some Chinese symbol tubes, I think it might be used for instrumentation.

Very nice !
Can you provide the model of this tube ?
Also I don mind if you can provide a list of known chineese symbols (using Latin letters )

I have a QS30-75 with the same glyphs, honeycomb mesh. I'm not sure if its cathodes are exactly the same. I also have an unmarked tube which appears to be identical to the QS30-75 except that it has a rectangular mesh. QS30-7A, perhaps?

There were several manufacturers making QS30 tubes at that time, so tubes may not exactly the same from different factories.
I took over 500 pictures for these symbol tubes, I shared them here:
All tubes are for sell as well, all symbol tubes are same price $7, number tubes are $9, free shipping if take 10 tubes or more ;)
