Hi,
I got hold of this nice Russian EG-5 (ЕГ-5) prototype dekatron and after having peered down the glass envelope and hooked it up as a normal GC10B it started to run without a hitch, I made a short video:
Unfortunately my new LED lamps flicker and since my tester uses the mains frequency to run it looks like some cathodes and guides are not lit, but that is just an effect of the flicker and the camera not handling that.

Great find! Looks like long-lost child of OG-3 and A-201. Where on the
Earth are you finding all those awesome and unusual tubes?

BTW, we have a proof of the universal quality of the True Technology! If
we stayed with the hot-rod-in-the-vacum light there would be no
flickering. All those fluorescent tubes, cfls, leds... smoke and mirrors
they are. Neons are excused, they are supposed to flicker. ;)

I kindly ask people for help in finding rare tubes and I Google pictures a lot, plus I Google words I find in patents in foreign languages.
Google and Ebay are my best friends!
