I've got my set of tubes ready 2 go! The pics looks awesome Grahame! Finding the base 12 tubes is a little more difficult but the tubes aren't that expensive at all considering what they are and their size... they're from a very special time in computing history! The dekatron was the memory for storing numbers.
A little of that history... *Harwell computer*, later known as the *Wolverhampton Instrument for Teaching Computing from Harwell* (*WITCH*) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harwell_computer Here's a video of the reboot of the "WITCH" computer that used two types of dekatrons after it was restored and put back together after years of storage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVgc8ksstyg And here's semi shaky video of exercising the dekatrons on the WITCH to clean off the cathode poisoning on the cathodes! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF8CnG7ee-A Dekatrons played and important role in atomic and other research... a pretty momentous time during our computing history 4sure!
