Ummm... the point of your post is what exactly?

Yeah, a few more details. please. I've built a clock with IN-14s, 10 years ago, and the tubes still look new:

Only wish, the wood fared better. The clock is a little too close to a window, and the morning sun, has bleached the wood a bit.

I've yet to have an IN-14 fail on me..I've had a few duds out of the box, but none die even after 7/8 years of use...

Now, IN-16 tubes, that's a different story....

I like the IN-14's, they have a different look, I like the '5'. My glass clocks use either IN-8-2's or IN-14's. The IN-8-2's are more popular - but I like the looks of the IN-14's, especially the fine grid version.

They are very reliable too. I agree about the IN-16's, lot of failures.

Really, I have some in14's that have been running fine for years.  They're still nice & bright with no silvering or cathode poisoning.  Sure, the 5 looks a bit different, but some other tube types are not as nice.  in14's are inexpensive for their size, reliable & readily available.

Some people don't like the in14 using a flipped 2 for a 5, but in8's 4 digit and coarse anode aren't very nice either.

Many tubes with smaller or bigger digits may be better,  but you'll pay more for them.  Pick the tubes that you like and enjoy them.  in14's are fine for their own reasons and I'm happy to have mine.
