These are still fairly easy to find and in some cases, quite affordable and just a few euro&#8217;s per nixie. Sadly I couldn&#8217;t find a nice overview of all the nixies made by the USSR. Some other popular displays are the VFD and numitron displays, both are also vacuum glass tubes and also used for DIY clock projects. This page will try to be a complete overview of all the nixie, VFD and numitron tubes in the popular IN and IV series.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Nixie tubes<\/h3>\n<p>Nixie tubes are vacuum tubes filled with neon for an orange glow. They need around 180V to operate and where used as indicator or display before newer technology like LEDs where invented. The following table lists all the IN nixies from the USSR. The prices are an indication and sampled on Ebay in the start of 2018. Some nixies can be soldered to a PCB directly, but some use sockets. When a socket is needed, special female pinheaders, nixie pins, can be used as well and can be cheaper and smaller. Some info on these pins can be found <a href=\"https:\/\/unusualelectronics.co.uk\/nixiesockets\/?v=796834e7a283\">here.<\/a> They can be found online at several stores and on Ebay.<\/p>\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-1\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-1\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Name<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Photo<\/th><th class=\"column-3\">Description<\/th><th class=\"column-4\">Properties<\/th><th class=\"column-5\">Price indication (jan 2021)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">IN-1<\/td><td class=\"column-2\"><a href=\"https:\/\/justanotherelectronicsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/in-1-l.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/justanotherelectronicsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/in-1-l-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/justanotherelectronicsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/in-1-l-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/justanotherelectronicsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/in-1-l-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/justanotherelectronicsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/in-1-l-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/justanotherelectronicsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/in-1-l-336x336.jpg 336w, https:\/\/justanotherelectronicsblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/in-1-l.jpg 564w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/td><td class=\"column-3\">A round nixie, about 3cm in size.
