Odd Tubes

[seaforth23]

A lot of talk of unusual Nixie's recently. A few years ago I acquired a small collection of used Nixie's. Amongst them was a set that presumably was from weighing scales of some sort. 4 GN-35 AH "upside down" numeric tubes, plus one GF-37 A which displays fractions - 1/8.1/4, 3/8, 1/2,5/8, 3/4 & 7/8. If any collector is interested, I would be happy to give them away (if you pay carriage), as I realistically don't think would use them. Let me know, David.

David,

I would be interested in the GF-37 as well as the 4 GN-35 AH "upside down" numeric tubes.  Happy to pay the freight.

YES!! If you have still, I would be interested too in both the types

I was going to suggest a creativity contest: Whoever comes up with the most imaginative idea and has the expertise to build it, should get the tubes.

If I was into vehicle restoration (unfortunately I cant because my garage is already cluttered....), a full dashboard with nixie tubes would be my choice; the fractional tube could be used for a fuel gauge.

Interesting tubes; any idea who the manufacturer is ?

Experience shows that nixies and road vehicles don't mix - the nixies fail in due course due to mechanical breakdown.

Now those are awesome looking.  I wish I had a use for them.  I have seen some Nixie tubes used in cars, usually as a speedometer reading.  The one I recall seeing used IN-12 tubes.  I guess those would be better, only since they would be easy to replace if they were set in the original sockets.  Thanks so much for offering these up to the group.  Like I said, I wish I could foresee a use for them.  Semper Fi.

Thanks for all the comments - the tubes now have a new home. Someone asked who was the manufacturer - the answer is ITT., date code 7310.

A member of this group made a motorcycle speedo using Nixies a few years ago - I think it lasted one journey! The vibrations caused cathodes to short together if I remember correctly.
