IN-17 as volt meters?

[Nick Andrews]

Building a rotary phase converter for the lathe and mill.  I was going to just write up 3 harbor fright dvm as the voltage displays but now I'm thinking using clusters of 3 nixies would be much,  much cooler. 

Any thoughts on best way to do this? 

Damn,  I wish I'd gotten into nixies much earlier...  Glad I picked up a hundred of these last summer.

Wow 100, how much were they?

It might've been 50 but I think it was a hundred.  Cost was $149.  Not so much any more!  The current prices are stupid ridiculous.

Yeah!  Jumping on some IV-17/IV-4 at $2.50 each before they are gone.  I've been eschewing the VFD stuff because most of it isn't nearly as cool as nixies, but these can do alphanumeric and look pretty big too, so... 

Want to buy some of the bigger blue 16-segment LED units too. I think it'll be Aliexpress for that though.

So does the IN17 have the real digit 5 or the lame upside down digit 2 as a 5?

I see pictures showing both things.   Which is it?
