None of the getters seems to have been fired though, all working samples I've seen have had their getters fired. Would be nice to know if they work. /Martin On Thursday 8 August 2024 at 20:02:54 UTC+2 Nicholas Stock wrote: > 2000 Euro. Not too shabby > > On Tue, Aug 6, 2024 at 1:57 PM gregeb

XM1000 is a modified copy of the NIMO made by Telefunken. In fact, these tubes should have been destroyed after a lawsuit by NIMO, because Telefunken ignored their patent. However, it seems that much of this tubes has been preserved. eric Van: neonixie-l@googlegroups.com [mailto:neonixie-l
