That is sweet Cowmation!  Straight from NASA guaranteed to have displayed during something cool! Do all the digits illuminate in each tube still?  I had a set that had a severe case of cathode poisoning on the 7's and 5's.

I love Nixie tubes! I have some 60s hp test equipment with nasa stickers that has an 11 digit nixie display.

Thanks lala!

The water block does keep it in line nicely. Only downside to this controller is you can only control it VIA remote and that remote likes to not work most of the time.  I have wanted to check the tubes themselves to see if maybe they were in some strange Cold War command center or something.
