I have had a few of these used, which showed quite severe cathode poisoning, 
but I was able to recondition them with cycling the digits at higher current 
until they shine like new again.

I'm certainly not expecting 40+ years of continuous operation from any of 
my tubes, but if that's what you've getting I may as well give it a try and 
run my 7971's 24/7 .  I assumed that bigger tube + more pins + more 
interior surface area & materials would lead to significantly shorter 
lifespan.

Re: [neonixie-l] Need IN-14

[Dylan Distasio]

I've ordered a lot from Russia, and have found it is usually 2-3 weeks to
arrive.  I will look to see if I have any IN-14s left if no one else is
able to help.

[neonixie-l] Need IN-14

['Terry S' via neonixie-l]

Has anyone in the states got a long leaded IN-14 to "front" me?

I'm fixing another clock for a fellow, and I've ordered tubes, but they may 
be weeks in coming. If anyone can send me a NOS IN-14 with long leads, I 
will repay with a NOS tube plus postage & an extra $5.upon their 
arrival.

What's your experience with ordering tubes from Russia? Do they really take 
as long as they claim to arrive? This transaction is saying mid May. USPS 
tracking says they are en-route already.

If it's only a couple weeks I can wait.

Terry

My favorite: Burroughs 5092. Small (0.6" numbers), but very reliable. I've 
never had one fail on me, and I've never encountered a defective one via 
Ebay.

I have clocks with other tubes (6091, IN-18, and coming soon, b7971), but I 
can tell they dont have the same ruggedness.

I like the horizontal wire grid as well, what is the tube?
