Actually, closer to nixie tubes than fluoro displaysis the neon 7 segment
display. I have one of these curios in my collection, as well as a single
relatively large nixie tube. I recall coming across a whole bank of these in
subminiature format some time back, but where and when escapes me.
Unfortunately, it does not appear that they were mine. I can't find them
anywhere.
