Rarer Than A Moon Rock.... Deadlier Than Plutonium... It's The NIMO Digital Display Tube! As far as I know this is the first and only time that an operational NIMO has ever been presented on YouTube. A FranLab Vintage Technology First! Thanks for watching...

    Will this be a viable replacement for a 6L6?

    Super Fran, well done! on a similar tack, saw a trailer for the film "Oppenheimer" where they showed a countdown timer with Nixie display tubes, correct me if I.m wrong, but didn't these first appear in 1955?

    Hey you were complaining about not being in search and I can telll you that you came into my feed unasked. I'm retired and dirty poor so I can't "patreon" you, however
    Good luck@~~
    PS you tube doesn't prioritize videos that make you think or inform you accurately. That's why they kicked so many ppl off a few years after they bought the creators out
    2+2=5 do this and you tube will prioritize you@🙃

    I can't help but wonder if Numatron's can make a comeback, could the NIMOs?

    Beautiful finding, I saw a bunch of Nixie displays, some ones numitrons and even a Panaplex displays, but never seen a Nimo, sure they had a very very short commercial life, congrats…

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars cr8cat says:

    Thanks for this, Fran..truly excellent presentation and content. I suppose you have a rockin’ set of Nixie tubes…
