Anyone also experiment with A-201 Polyatrons?

[Bill Notfaded]

I've been really into dekatrons lately...  I like all the vintage display technology that applies to computing and other uses.  The more I investigated dekatrons the more similar technology become interesting.  This led me to polyatrons.  They are a little harder to find but I recently stumbled onto not only some tubes but the, sometimes harder to find, sockets!  I understand that in polyatrons the things are flipped a little compared to dekatrons if I read it right.  This is what I found:

I'm hoping I can either get another A-210 and maybe make a clock or come up with something after, at least, getting them running again.

It might be worth investigating the circuit on the board itself in this instance actually.  I have no idea what this came out of.  Could the polyatron be counting for the nixie tubes here?

After I get the board in my hands I'll take better pictures of the circuitry.

Just search the forum here for the designs I've made and the schematics you need, you'll find my Youtube links there to.

Did you get the circuit board in the photos, if so please contact me offline.
