I really hope they’ve been handled with care and, if they were, this last trip with the postal services doesn’t break them. I’m not even sure if I’m going to use them though. I’d never even thought about them actually being 7 segment Nixie tubes so something inbetween Nixie and Numitron. Perhaps use them to trade for other tubes I like. No idea what the value of these things is nowadays.

Just came across 7 new MG-17G tubes which I never knew existed. Has anyone ever done a clock with these tubes? I "found" them inside a Inno-hit K80W battery operated portable calculator, of which there are few similar models from the same year(s). In two tubes the top ring has gone loose and moves freely inside the glass shorting segments together. Well, with some clever movements it can be parked in the back of the tube still preserving functionality: it lasts as long as nobody puts upside down the calculator. Be gentle with your MG17-G's.
