Unknown Russian Nixie tubes

[jb-electronics]

Hi folks, have you seen these bad boys?

• http://www.ebay.ca/itm/172224488490
• http://www.ebay.ca/itm/182153164218

I have never seen these tubes before, and the weirdest thing is that the first one is called "IN-19B" which is in name conflict with the well-known IN-19B special symbol Nixie tube (same size as IN-14).

Cheers

I saw them earlier today and had exactly the same thought about the IN-19B tube! Even downloaded the images to take a closer look and see if it was a misread. Even odder, it's the same manufacturer makes both tubes with this designation (Gazotron).

Thrillingly expensive stuff!

Was about to start a thread about them, you were faster.

The "IN-19B" is sold now..  * :( *


I also wondered why it is printed "IN-19B", which usually is a small symbol nixie in the size of IN14

Does anyone knows when the "normal" IN-19B" started production? The date code on the strange tube is 77, are there any IN-19B's before 77? Maybe this was a proto that was never in production, and later its name was taken?

About the "Pandicon" that looks awesome, i have send the seller a message if i can get a pic when it lights up :)

A long time ago I was told by a Russian person (don't remember his name and can't find any emails, sorry, Outlook has crashed a few times since then) that the tube named IN-19B was in fact an IN-26 Polyatron with a purple shine. But comparing the old picture I have to the pictures in the auction I can now see that they are identical, and from the auction photos of the internals it doesn't look anywhere near a Polyatron to me. So thanks to the seller I can now scrap that idea, unless the IN-26 in fact is almost identical to the IN-19B but is a proper Polyatron, the IN-26 was said to have the same scale with just six positions.

Possibly used in an elevator? Cool looking tube, never seen one liek that on eBay in over 15 years (yes, I've been looking that long)...

IMO if it was for elevator use, the numbers should be in the opposite order (unless 6-story cellars are common in Russia).
