Dear Terry,
jb-electronics.de will be around for the forseeable future, I can
promise that :) But I see your point.
Dieter and myself set up a nixie tube database back in 2011 on
http://nixie-museum.org/ which I still own but it is no longer
functional. I have extensive knowledge in database programming and
webdesign, but I presently do not have the time to develop the database.
Maybe enybody can list some features in this thread they would like to
see? I will make a note of them and hopefully I will have some time for
this project this summer.
Best wishes
Jens

Nowadays nixie tube names are easily found by google, but there are
alot of collectors that have many tubes, and other places where only
a few tubes are listed etc. Sadly there is no "master" list of tubes,
where you can find all (yet) known types.
This is exactly my problem. I only collect symbolic tubes, not
numeric. In addition, I'm not interested in simple plus, minus, and/or
numeral 1 tubes so I'd like to be able to filter them out as well. I
already have all the former Soviet symbol tubes and I don't know what
to search for next on eBay.
The database would only provide text data about the tubes - no images
or datasheets - if a collector owns a particular tube, a link could
be added to see this tube on the collectors page. This would ensure
that visitors still would visit the collectors pages instead of
looking up tube images on the master database. So every collector
could freely design his own website.
Exactly. Links to existing sites would have to be a main feature.
On a related note, one of my nightmares is that sites like
http://www.tube-tester.com or www.jb-electronics.de
<http://www.jb-electronics.de> might disappear someday due to
unforeseen circumstances. It would be terrible to lose all of that
information and the enormous effort put into compiling it. Alan
Franzman's site only exists on Archive.org <http://archive.org> now:
