Re: [neonixie-l] More Nixies in film
It's funny you mentioned that, I also just watched for my first time ever Altered States and noticed the HP time plotter with the nixie tubes spitting out the thermal paper. I even made a note at the time what the model number was but I've since forgotten it. On 2011 Apr 11, at 10:35 , Gene Segal wrote: > Just watched Altered States with William Hurt, 1980.

Sounds like an interesting hybrid - do you have a screenshot? ;-) Jens Am 21.04.2011 06:38, schrieb will: OK, I've been playing Portal 2 for the past few hours... there is one part in the game with humongous nixie tubes/numitrons. The game designers took the wires out of nixie tubes and put them inside the casing of a numitron, and then scaled it up. I thought it was kind of funny seeing them there, and it's nice that they put the extra effort in to make it look like it was built in the 60's.
