interesting, the columns are pretty close together.

[neonixie-l] Re: Weird display (possibly OT)
I've seen this type of display on a very old Berkeley universal counter; neon bulb behind each digit. It's very annoying to read because the digits bounce up-and-down; pre-dates nixie tubes. I salvaged one of these about 40 years ago, and another a few years later; must have had about 50 vacuum tubes in it. Big, heavy, noisy, generated lots of heat. But I got a lot of neon bulbs from them. Wish I would have kept one of the plugin counter modules. This one in the picture probably uses transistors, because the size is too small for vacuum tubes. Looks like it's in nice shape and was well-cared for. If you want a unique-looking clock, here's your chance. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
