Nixie film appearance - Chernobyl miniseries

[Kevin A.]

I've been watching the HBO miniseries about Chernobyl (which is very entertaining without disrespecting most of the facts). Without going into spoilers, there are several scenes where nixies are featured. Despite thinking I could recognize most nixie types, I can't tell which tubes appear in the show. I included a pic of the best close up offered on screen. Any ideas?

I think they are IN-8.  I have a clock made with them right next to my television and it was a nice coincidence.

I think you're right. They cant be 14s since they dont have the upside down "2" for the "5" digit. Wonder who took the original ones since most of the switches and bits from the control panel have "gone missing" over the years..

Yes.

It's IN-8 or IN-8-2.

Greetings,

I would disagree with you all and say that this is the Z57xM series from W & F Germany

[Lucky Ace Kandoo]

Comparison between IN-8 an Z57xM:

The shape of the numbers of the Z57xM are rounder than the IN-8

The numbers are in comparison too tall to their glass bulb

The Z57xM has white "number carrier"

here as an example of an of the Z566x
