Not my item / no affiliation:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/EXPERIMENTAL-NIXIE-TUBE-DEVELOPMENT-SAMPLE-PANDICON-RARE-UNIQUE-9-segment/223985955147?hash=item34269a714b:g:RKwAAOSwKk5eoG8n



9-segment displays are uncommon, and the nice thing about them is you can make fairly decent-looking words with them.
I have a similar tube (Burroughs 13404) which was used in some sort of HP instrument, and will be making something with it soon.

I hope to see someone make something from this.

Not if I have my way!

j/k. Not bidding.

I watched the CD27 auction, which was UK only. Would probably have gone for even more if it were international.

And it finally sold for 255 USD. I hope the winner is in this forum and makes something with it.

Yikes. I thought it was cool. Maybe $80 cool, not $250 cool.

I thought it was $250 cool, but I would not have gone much higher. Jens

Yes. I have the eBay listing saved as a Safari web archive plus all of the hi-res pictures. Here are the better shots with no motion blur:

I have a large eBay archive that's mostly test equipment with Nixies, Dekatrons etc. I also have a few manuals for said gear.

Careful what you offer, I think Terry has a long list he might give you.  People who outbid him, those who destroyed classic vintage test gear just to sell the tubes, etc....

We could add that to the group archive if you're willing Terry?

It's possible but I'd have to do some reorganization. It's not all in the same place. Might take a while.

Sadly, a lot of eBay listings got past me and I never saved them. I lost the impetus at some point. Just too much to keep up with.
