A couple of weeks ago, I got the following e-mail from a colleague of mine,
Jon, KZ1G. He wrote:

If youve been fascinated by the glow of Nixie tubes, youll enjoy this video
about a guy who handcrafts them!Â* The video is long, but worth watching.

Included was a link to this YouTube video:

The video is indeed fascinating. It tells the story of Dalibor Farny, who
decided that he was going to start making Nixie tubes again. This was no
simple task.Â*He discovered Nixie tubes in 2011, and in 2012, decided that
he wanted to make his own Nixie tubes. Two years later, he had his first
working prototype, and now hes manufacturing them in limited quanitites.
What a fantastic story.
