Good score. I'm insanely jealous and have nothing to trade. 8D

I think these match the XN3 - looking at the coarse mesh.

Somewhere I have a couple of upside-down nixies that came from a scale.

They are in poor condition with corroded leads (but working)

They show 1/8, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 5/8, 3/4, 7/8

really unusual!

I have a few upside down tubes also removed from scales, with the same range of fractions - both Mullard and ITT variants - the Mullards have the fine horizontal mesh which I particularly like.

I will dig out some pictures.

I just grabbed these with a phone, I tried setting the ISO low to show the numbers better - as ever - much better in real life.

Ooh- beautiful! It'd be interesting to see something like that display fractions of a second in a clock

OK, so who's going to make the first nixie-tube tape-measure with one of these rare beauties ???

... My eyes don't work that quickly these days but perhaps fractions of minute on an otherwise 4 digit clock might be fun.
