PS: correction - I should have probably wrote "partially in-gassed" as I
believe the pressure inside the tubes is less than one atmosphere (someone
correct me if I'm wrong), and so unwanted oxygen/nitrogen etc. gets into the
tube. Any way you slice it, the tubes gets contaminated and requires hi
The "8" digit has the greatest surface area and requires the most current to
light, so for a partially outgassed and/or internally contaminated tube driven
with a fixed current, the 8 is often the first to show symptoms of partial
illumination.

I hear of far more failures with early-mid 1980's tubes than 1989-91 ones. Do
yours have a mercury giver tube in the base? It's a tiny glass rod with a
heater wire wrapped around it.

You mean "IN-9" or "IN-13" neon bar?

That's great! Because if the original communication would have been 50% as
effective as the communication here regarding alleged libel for the alleged
non-communication, the blinker problem would have been solved long ago! 😆😆😆

WOW! Such strong and repetitive language only shows that one has a reason to
prove something. Good customer service means never putting your customers in a
position to feel the need to reach out to the community.
Greg has been a solid long-term customer of mine.

Bill, thanks for reporting! That's very useful information. Looks like it went
stable ultimately. It's strange that it was stable for the first two weeks; if
there was a "burn in" I would think the lamp would act up right away. Maybe
voltage fluctuated in the device?

Bill, excellent observation! I almost didn't recognize my own post from 2011,
thanks for digging that up!))
I'm curious if that INS-1 you reported about, which went stable, will stay
stable long-term. Please do report.
Best regards, Gene

When you have a sudden performance issue, it's gas. Especially when large
sections of large-area cathodes go dim. Poisoning from sputtering affects small
sections and is observed over longer periods of time. I'll bet that tube will
start going pink soon.

You're all wrong, it's leaking gas through the pins.
