Burroughs beam switching tube in factory test fixture

[David Forbes]

I went on a road trip with family this last week. We visited my friend
Tom Jennings in LA, who got me started in this whole Nixie tube thing
back in 1999.

He has a display cabinet in his living room with some lovely items. One
is this factory test fixture for the Burroughs beam switching tube.

PS Sorry to read about Jeff Thomas. He got me started in the Nixie watch
thing.

Very nice.

Original factory test kit is great. Jan has the original ZM1350 tester at http://www.die-wuestens.de/dindex.htm?/ZM1350.htm and Ronald has some great photos of an original Philips factory tube tester at http://dos4ever.com/uTracer3/uTracer3_pag2.html 

Great stuff
