And after listening to several portions of his other songs/albums, 'The Apostrophe' is his best work and shows that he really has a good knack for telling stories. It's a shame that more of his music didn't turn out so well. -joe On Monday 13 September 2010 11:24:54 Nick wrote: > On Sep 13, 4:1

Hi, I have never heard of these high contrast tubes, either, I would be very interested in a comparing picture... Maybe it refers to the finer grind of the NL-845, but other types like the NL-840 have a fine grid, too: *http://jb-electronics.de/html/elektronik/nixies/n_nl840.htm *Strange. Ho

Hi Everyone, I'm in the market for 5092-style tubes, but ones without radioactive material in them. I read through many of the threads here and I know some are of the opinion that there's no danger with the thorium or the krypton, but I just assume avoid that material all the same. (Messing around
