To me, the choice of tubes is a real drawback in terms of appearance. The upside down twos for the numeral “5” is one of the best examples of how some of the Russian tubes tried to go cheap in terms of production when they really saved nothing. The resulting font set is not what people want. Pick a different tube (although I understand the choices are limited) which is aesthetically more pleasing. IN-8-2 is readily available and not so different in mass.
As far as Dalibor’s tube version – it’s not the tube that’s the problem. The tube is absolutely beautiful! I just don’t find any fascination in a one digit clock.

Is this the first product using Dalibor's nixies ? Interesting idea, but for me the "upside-down-2" nixies in the multi-tube version kill the aesthetics. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
