Anyone from here have Wamco Minitrons KW-105S (7-segments)? -- http://www.decadecounter.com/vta/pict7/microtron.jpg  I would love to buy 4 or 8 more to complete my project.

Thanks!

You can buy 'em commercially, but they're brutal.

I have some similar displays, but they're a different brand and pinout, and they're alphanumeric:

I've been building with the Russian numitrons lately.

Id recomend you asking here http://www.tubeclockdb.com/forum/Related-Technology/2477-Wamco-Alphanumeric-minitrons.html

Yeah, I found out that they are still in production for $250 per one item.  Yes, you are right, they are ridiculously expensive. I have old 4 KW-105S. ($10 each from eBay)

I found similar ones on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/200860310888?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

It might bigger than KW-105S, but I am unsure. I have to look up the specification.

Yeah I found some from ebay a while ago. It's really hard to find it. Need 4 more.

Hello Bryan,

 

     I've located 12 NOS pieces . They're all from the same production batch dated 9237 ( 37th week of 1992 ). They're in excellent condition considering they're 20 years old . I built a little test jig so you can see one lit up. It's a pretty little display . Send me your e-mail address and I'll forward you a picture of it .  Jim ...

> Ok took some photos so you can get an idea of what they look like. The series resistors are 1/8 watt 100 ohms and the supply voltage is 5 volts . Unfortunately Google says they're too big to post .

I had James send them to me, and uploaded them to my server for everybody:

Astonishing.  Do you have any idea why on earth someone would still produce these?  Whose producing them?
