Michail,
Sorry about the fire. If modern electronics can be dipped in something,
then tubes can also be dipped in it, I would expect. As long as it's
safe for glassware. The glass that tubes are made from can handle quick
temperature changes.
You might want them to test it on some Russian tubes with upside-down 2s
for 5s, so you won't be too sad if it fails.

My house caught fire 2 weeks ago. Structure is fine. Cause of fire was
salt water tank (not a nixie clock).
Structure is fine, but smoke damage has destroyed a LOT. Reason for my
post is that I have (or had) over 30 nixie clocks and stock piles of tubes.
They tell me they dip (in what?) electronics, but are worried that the TUBE
devices (the clocks).
I have a day to decide if I want them to try dipping. Suggestions on an
answer or sell off the clocks as is for a premium (heh - sad face) as they
are covered in soot and obvious smell of being in a fire.
I did take 2x MOD6 clocks on Friday to work to see if I could just clean
them myself.
On my way to work, I got rear-ended, so needless to say, those 12 tubes
were destroyed in the back. Uhhhg, bad luck.
So, question - anyone know 'what' they are going to DIP the clocks in and
will it destroy the tubes?
