Hi Guys,

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Mullard-ZM1200-Pandicon-Developmental-Nixie-Tube/193079978426?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160727114228%26meid%3Dfc4b9e139c964240be3e0ac21f64baa5%26pid%3D100290%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D193079978426%26itm%3D193079978426%26pmt%3D0%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2060778&_trksid=p2060778.c100290.m3507

Seems like a rather "OK" price, compared to other rare tubes!

There is some rust on the pins though, close to the glass seal, and some bent pins too.

Has anyone ever done anything with either the 8 or 14 digit Pandicons? They seem to go for some decent money, but I've yet to see them implemented.

You've been working on these a while right Jonathan? Have you had any success making them work without ghosting? I'd like one too for the collection but it sure would be neat to light one up. Everything I've found seems to say it's not trivial at all?
