I suppose it could be regassed, though it probably wouldn't be easy as the evacuation port is typically close to the rest of the glass envelope. The problem is that if the tube is leaky, it's just a matter of time before it will fail again. onsdag den 25. november 2020 kl. 18.06.14 UTC+1 skrev

I found this picture on spark-tube.com The tubes are clearly lit with a UV light from the right side. Has anyone ever come across these orange and blue versions? [image: tube_iv-6-vfd-differen-colors.jpg] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l"

It would certainly be an experiment. You could slather a little high vacuum epoxy around the pins to help seal the metal to glass joints if that was suspected. On Thu, Nov 26, 2020, 3:22 AM Christian Riise Wagner < c.riisewag...@gmail.com> wrote: > I suppose it could be regassed, though it prob
