[Test-Equipment] Nixie project

[Bill Riches]

I have been working on a Nixie clock and when I first plugged in the 6 old
nixies that I had only two of them would work.  I have had the clock running
for a few days and now 5 out of the 6 nixies are working.  I remember
reading somewhere that they need "radiation ionization" to operate and
wonder if this comes from normal background radiation.  These tubes have
been in the junk box for years.
