I bought a few hundred from Ask Jan First a couple years ago, hoping to liquidate most of his supply, but ran out of money before succeeding :-) They are very clear and crisp looking tubes. That is why I like them. I care a lot about good looking tubes. ZM1210 are much, much better than the Soviet construction tubes. I wouldn't plan to buy your Nixies in the future. The ZM1210 are significantly more expensive now than when I collected a bunch. They might simply be out of stock when the day comes that you want to buy some. It's actually surprizing that Jan still has stock, considering that these tubes are still priced VERY reasonably, and compared to IN-8 (the most directly comparable Russian tube), are a little more expensive, a little smaller digit size, but much prettier looking display! I'll take the ZM1210 over IN-8 any day. BTW, I have had 6 of these running for about 7 years now, about 16 hours per day, in my one and only Nixie clock. They are still working fine. I turned up the voltage a little bit 2 years ago because they seemed just slightly dimmer than in the beginning. They may last many more years still.
