DH says maybe it could test tubes but it’s very old and it’s not likely anyone or hardly anyone will know what it is! What a riot.

Beautiful bit of vintage hardware, that is! I’ll have to keep my eyes open for something like this… imagine snagging a pile of nixies for a dollar at a garage sale!

I knew what this was right when I saw it.
It dates back to the time of the first moon landing but it’s not a part of a spacecraft or anything military.

November 9th, 2009
Well, let’s see – the post is dominated by an add for the company, and despite the contest ending several days ago, there’s no answer posted.
