[Heathkit] VFO tubes for 104A VFO needed

[Ian Wilson]

There are quite a few new Nixies on sale most of the time on eBay these
days - new production from Russia, etc. You might look for a complete
set and retrofit to the transceiver.

Or you may find an old calculating machine with Nixies in the display, or
the Beckman 282 DMM (apparently). I picked up a GR counter some time
ago that I intended to part out for its Nixies - but it works flawlessly,
so I
wasn't able to persuade myself to do that.
