I had an intrusive thought one time, and decided it wouldn’t be a bad idea to flick the evacuation nipple on a VFD; it didn’t work out all that well, although it did make a pretty cool noise lol.On Mar 1, 2024, at 9:19 AM, Jeff Walton wrote:Here's some friendly advice: don't ever use the end of

Here's some friendly advice: don't ever use the end of a paper clip to test
whether there is a glass seal inside that nipple. The little pop you hear is
the sound of magic gas escaping. It's fragile... Jeff

No need to apologize Jon, I thought the very same thing when I first saw
these types of devices back in the day, we all make mistakes!
Cheers,
Nick

Well, my bad then. I actually have a few of these somewhere that I know
work, but I never noticed them looking like these. My apologies to the
group. And thanks for all of the quick feedback !!

Hi Jon, Actually, if you have worked with panaplex, you will recognize that
these nipples are normal. The glass seal is actually sucked into the stem that
you are seeing. I've bought from this seller and they are used but worked
fine. I paid less than the listing price. Jeff
Jon, that's how they are it is not a sign of them having been broken.
The displays I have here are just like this and work fine. I have bought
from this seller before and they've been fine (a few years ago now).
However, that price is a bit steep! Even with the discount...

Hello,
I have about 50 units myself. They all look the same as in the photo.
