Back in 2102, Lamptron made a fan controller for a PC case. They were notorious for burning out quickly. I'm looking for an ID on these nixies and if possible, a datasheet. The end goal is hopefully a drop-in replacement. Any help is appreciated.
From the brand ID, I'm assuming that they're Zhishiguan but can't find anything online about the model. I believe it reads 87 IV. The diameter is a little over 29mm and the height is 28.7mm (32.75mm with pins)

Welcome Alvin!
Those should be the same pin out as the Burroughs B-5092
They will be almost 0.75" and bright!

Thanks Martin! I went through my box of nixies looking for B-5092's and looks like that I answered my own question. No 5092s but I did have some QS30-1. Turns out the number was illegible on the one that I pulled. I was reading the wrong number. These are QS30-1 which I believe can be swapped with Z560M, ZM1020 or SZ-8. Thanks again for the help.

Yes they could be swapped with alot of tubes (Burroughs B5092 and similar, ZM1020 Series, GN-4 etc etc) its a B13B socket, there are quite many that fit.

I remember reading that this Chinese nixies contain no mercury so they have low life expectancy. Perhaps you should consider dimming a little that display, or making it light only when someone is around, etc.
