Do you happen to know a man named Carl Litzkow? He lives in Micanopy, or he
used to. He and I have been friends since we were in the second grade
together although we have lost touch lately.
Regards.

Subject: [time-nuts] I like Nixie tubes!!
Hello, Time-Nuts--

For whatever reason I have resurrected a 1967
HP 5245L counter. Indeed I have many newer units.
But there is something about that nixie tube glow.

Indeed. I have an old HP-5245L counter that I keep
running on the shelf over my bench just because the
Nixie tubes rippling through their count sequence
is so... well, so cool and appealing.
I also have an old HP selective level meter that tunes
up to around 20 MHz or so that has a Nixie tube
display and I often turn it on just for the effect
that the Nixie tube display has.
If all the digits are cleanly and evenly lit and there
is no extraneous glow visible in the tube to damage the
contrast of the digits, Nixie displays really appeal
to me!
