nixie tube

[darryl]

This goes back in time for sure. This fellow sure does have a nicely equipped shop- with a lathe, even though it's a glass blowers lathe. He exhibits some serious skill all through the process of creating these tubes. I normally wouldn't watch for that long, but I was impressed with his workmanship.

The nixie tube- can you imagine the cost of such a readout today? Each of those tubes has to be worth several tens of dollars considering all the steps needed to produce them.
