Re: [neonixie-l] Unusual ZM1040 Tube

[Paul Parry]

Thanks for your help guys, a ZZ1040 it is then!

I was having a hunt for some Nixies and came across Billington Export 
https://web211.secure-secure.co.uk/tube-and-valve-electronics.co.uk/wholesale/basket.asp
 they 
have quite a few Nixies listed (although the Zm1080 are now gone!) I also 
got some odd Dekatrons that divide by 12 rather than 10, which I have never 
seen before either! Shame that those ZM1040's were not Nixies as the 
wholesale price was £18 each.. which is pretty good for NOS..

Cheers,
Paul

[neonixie-l] Re: The Russians are correct! Early A-201 Polyatron prototype is shining blue!

[Dekatron42]

Well, I couldn't keep myself away from the Polyatron so I made a quick 
tweak of the pulse voltages as well as the screen/grid voltage, and voila 
it started to run somewhat better - now I have to go and take care of what 
I really should have done, household chores.

Argon ? If so, I wonder if the decision was based it's abundance vs. Neon.

Yes, probably, Kaganov - Каганов И.Л. Ионные приборы (Ionic Devices), says 
that early Polyatrons used 90% Argon and 10% Hydrogen.

Yes!  But like many nixie tubes, these aren’t available anywhere either…
