Instead of using just one cathode as anode, if you're using it for the 10s of hours, you can hook up all the remaining 7 cathodes to be anodes. I did this in one of my clocks. The striking voltage is still slightly higher, but it works quite well. mandag den 20. marts 2023 kl. 19.50.04 UTC+1

Why not try to quick soldier a lead wire to it. I’ve done it often with a number of IN-14s I’ve received. Especially since I use the decimal points which many have had the legs cut off when they were installed in equipment half a century earlier.Flux it up and a quick hit with iron and

I never thought using a cathode as anode... I just tested , plugging the number 8 on +170V, all the other number are working when grounded. same with the number 4. those two numbers gave the best results. good idea to recycle them on a clock... I think use it for test purposes, with a 3D

Atom Adhesives sells electrically-conductive adhesives, but be aware of the cost. It's probably best to get a new tube, because any vibration or movement is likely to break-off the bond. Remember- you cant use a large glob like regular adhesives to add bonding-strength because it will short to
