Numitrons spotted?

Somewhere around the 38 sec mark, but it lasts for 0.2 sec or less so don't blink!

Yes, Numitrons.

In the USA, we had Panaplex displays in our gas pumps for many years. I spotted
a couple the other day in a derelict station on a winding mountain road. I
didn't pull over to extract them, though I imagine I could have.

I caught a glimpse of it. Had to replay that part a couple of times. 0.2sec might be generous. It looks to be on the fuel pump. I vaguely remember numitrons on gas pumps. I definitely remember 7-segment neon panaplex-like displays being used. They had those at the gas station I regularly used, for a couple of years. But that would be back in the 80's.

At least I learned something, by watching the rest of the video. Mixing diesel with gasoline, isn't quite the disaster its always made out to be.

Theres a station out in the country not far from here that has the
same pumps, they are made by gilbarco, and there are still some pumps
with nixies in in this country.
Magnetic flip 7 segments still sem to be the norm here, lcd's are
creeping in slowly.
