Nice try Michail, but no, it isn't a 6802. I could say that based on the
style of the anode disc, but actually there's something much more
fundamental going on which means the mystery tube couldn't possibly be a

That's true. And for the same reason that it could not be a 6802...

1. It is not 1st April
2. Jon doesn't say if it is spinning or is statically lit
2. There are 32 electrodes, 16 glowing, 16 appearing not to glow
3. Then it is a count of 16, single guide "dekatron" perhaps
4. Or a count of 8 triple guide "dekatron" with the cathodes and guide 2

10 days ago, I got the replacement tube, great support from Dalibor.
The new tube is now in the clock and I have tried to heal the old one. I
had some success, the 8 and the 6 look a lot better after applying 200V
during 24h with a 4.7k anode resistor... don't do that! :-)
But now also the 5
Sharp eyes Grahame, and some sharp deductions too...
The tube is indeed spinning, quite quickly. So we are looking at a
persistence of vision effect, but not one created by a highly specific
camera shutter speed - this is what the tube looks like to the naked eye.
And neither is the tube being
Do you see any air bubbles in the crimp at the base of the tube ?
