@Greg: YES :) It's an IN-1 for sure. Thank you!!! @LB: It's not biquinary. It has 14 leads placed in the glass, but three of them are not used - they are cut very short (one of them is visible on photo), @Chuck: Russian IN-4 has no internal connections between odd and even digits. It has 14 lead

Biquinary tubes require 7 wires to the outside world. there are 2 separate anodes, a front screen and a back plate. The digitsand wired together internally within the tube in (5) odd-even pairs. Those pairs are 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-0 The evens are near one side of tube, odds near other side.

Could be an IN-4, I’m pretty sure those can be used as biquinary tubes. > On Sep 18, 2021, at 2:35 PM, chuckrr wrote: > > almost -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, s

The SFC493E is designated as a 4-bit binary counter and from the photo you can see 8 holes in a straight line which probably means that there has been a Nixie driver like the 7441/74141 or similar soldered there (if there are 8 more holes outside of the photo). /Martin On Saturday, 18 Septembe

With a 14 pin driver IC, this has almost certainly GOT TO BE a bi-quinary style nixie.   Original Message From: "Bartek Ogryz" Sent: 9/18/2021 5:08:31 PM To: "neonixie-l" Subject: Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Please help identifying a n

Bruce Nauman? Whoever made the letters was really good... I wonder if the fabricator (rather than the artist) was Neon Workshops/Richard Wheater? There's a lot in the styling of those letters that looks like his work. On Friday, 17 September 2021 at 16:37:14 UTC+1 Nixcited delighted wrote: > I

Interesting. I believe there were some IN-1s made with regular 5s but I dont know what other tube it could be. On Sat, Sep 18, 2021, 8:56 AM Bartek Ogryz wrote: > Very interesting, Greg. I think you're right, that it's a russian tube. > But I'm not sure, if it's an IN-1 - all digits are similar,

Very interesting, Greg. I think you're right, that it's a russian tube. But I'm not sure, if it's an IN-1 - all digits are similar, except digit "5", wchich is not an inverted "2" (it's normally shaped). I'll place some more photos later. Thank's, Bartek. sobota, 18 września 2021 o 14:24:50 UT

I am almost sure it is a russian IN-1 tube extracted from the base and coated red. On Saturday, September 18, 2021 at 1:34:36 AM UTC+2 Bartek Ogryz wrote: > Hi! > I'm trying to identify an unknown nixie tube. You can see it on a photos > (I'm not able to do a better ones right now). The tube is
