Okay not sure about US made but I guess I meant to say not Soviet, and
theoretically then more reliable.  I'll open it up this weekend and look.
Need to try and figure out the Jones connector, if it's for an external
timer or what.

That Jones plug is pretty common. E.g.,

Yeah in the smaller sizes they are.  Try getting the big ones used on older
Spectra lasers though!

 I don't have a probe at the office, but the dekatrons come on and spin
 around.  It's mesmerizing!  They stop when you hit reset, so that's good.
 Looks like it has a built-in HV supply up to 1200V.  Also has a Jones 2x3
 connector on back for something or other.  Pretty sweet to get 5 US-made
 dekatrons that appear to work.

 Don't suppose anyone might have a manual for this?

Actually, if it's reliability you want in high speed dekatrons, then the 
Rodan ones are probably the best going. Much better in my experience than 
the US (Sylvania, Raytheon) ones. I'd expect this one to have Rodan DK23s 
in it.
