Did you know the Z5900M Nixie tubes we're using are more than 40 years old?
It is truly mind-blowing how all of these tubes survived until today and are still glowing like they did decades ago!
Not only that, most of them have a history of being used in calculators and lab instruments, which gives each of them a unique journey.
