Did anyone win this one?:

I can't find information about this tube anywhere. In Photoshop I can make out cathodes for "1/2" and possibly "5". There appears to be four altogether. Perhaps the last one is an anode.

I dropped out at €62.99. Of course I was going to keep one of them and offer the rest to the group.

I have a few of them, they display 0 and 1/2 as I recall. They show up rather frequently on Ebay, so I would not bid as high because chances are there will be more for sale.

Best wishes

I forgot to ask what part number you have. I can't find one in your collection.

I was referring to the 58GF-ST that this thread was about. I am afraid my collection website is not very much up to date, I don't have as much time anymore... I have many nice tubes that are waiting to be photographed, like the VX9110 ETL lab sample, or a B-7011 lab sample variant as well.

I was thinking in terms of variants, related tubes with really odd symbols. I find weird nixies to be the most interesting. I love the one in your collection has reciprocals of powers of two.

That's the story of my blog. If only there was a place where I could leave my tripod and lights set up all of the time. 8/

You must have your priorities wrong then! ;) ;) ;) You must have had that ETL sample for ages by now, correct?

Please try to find some time to photograph them and put them on your site.

I actually have had the ETL sample for around two years now, I think. Hopefully I will have some time during the summer.

Best wishes
