Wanted: best few photos of Nixies in military equipment

[JohnK]

I would like to get a few good pictures of Nixies in military equipment [not expecting it to be mobile stuff].Preferably not generally available test equipment but could be support equipment in the Defence industry.

Can anyone point to their favourites please?

I'd like to see some, too.

Back in the mid to late 80's, the US military put out a joint recruitment commercial on TV. It was highlighting the high tech equipment, all the branches used, implying that the recruits will get career building tech skills. One of the shots was a piece of gear, inside a tank, that clearly used nixie tubes. That gave me a chuckle, at the time, since nixies were long obsolete by the time, that commercial aired.

That commercial has to be floating around somewhere.

I grabbed a couple from AJ's photos back in the Yahoo days. The C-7417 Loran controller/display and the CP 748 radiation dose gadget.

BUT, I really do still want other examples.

 

I own a many-Nixie time code unit and a Systron Donner time display [larger Nixies] that I could photograph, but I want something more military or defence-related.

May not be exactly what you are after but a poke round this site and associated links might be worthwhile.
