[R-390] Dekatron counting speed

   I'll need to get home and pull the datasheet - IIRC the usual Sylvania 
or RCA Dekatron had a transfer-rate of about 400 - 500 KC, ie. you could 
drive them at 500KC and get a divided-by-ten pulse of 50 KC.

   I have upwards of 40 of 'em, (none for sale/trade currently) and sockets 
and biasing networks too.


   Someday I'll make a Grand Project out of them - or a few, at any rate.


   Cheers
